I was interested in a painting that was used to illustrate a symposium announcement and I was led to a great online museum site for "The Macao Museum of Art”. Currently there is an interesting exhibit of paintings and artifacts from the Qing dynasty. Another interesting series is called "Export paintings" which are paintings of export sites like Guangzhou and other coastal cities. It is part of an exhibit called "Historical Paintings of Macao in the late 19th century". The paintings are by European residents of Macao at the time and are reminiscent of the British landscape painters of the same era. There is also a photo exhibit of Macao in the late 19th century. Previous exhibits are available for view.
