In order to highlight the role of Macao as a Sino-French cultural exchange platform and to enhance the cultural background of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, the Macao Museum of Art takes great pride in hosting a joint exhibition with the Louvre entitled Plato in The Land of Confucius – Greek Art from the Louvre.
The exhibition – designed to introduce the public to the treasures of ancient Greek civilization – will display 130 works of Greek art, highlighting the wisdom, lives, religion, spiritual and artistic temperament of the Greek people, thereby affording viewers some rare glimpses of the origin of Western art while illuminating the spirit of the Olympic Games.
The timeless wisdom of an ancient civilisation is right here with us. Its lure will surely prove once more to be unfailing. |
