Thanks to João Alves for inviting me to his music event last night, and the look at the MAMMA Museum.
I hadn’t realised this museum had opened and the owner Rui Sá has taken this space to exhibit all his paintings and art work, that were just sitting piled up in his home.
MAMMA – The Madeira Modern Art Museum (Museu de Arte Moderna na Madeira) opened its doors in July 2021.
Comprising an area of 800 m2, it is an innovative and audacious museum, unique within Funchal’s cultural offer.
It contains around 300 pieces of art, including paintings and various types of art installations, distributed over 14 thematic areas, where creativity is the motto.
The intention is that visitors venture on a journey through the 5 elements in this venue: Water, Air, Earth and Fire, united by the Spirit.
Designed by Madeiran artist Rui Sá, who brings together 15 years of artistic creation, the exhibition challenges the visitor to discover a new vision of Art of the new millennium, from an avant-garde perspective, with great visual and introspective impact.
Below you will find a few photos I took in the museum. Well worth a visit.
