Museu de Arte Moderna Aloísio Magalhães

Museu de Arte Moderna Aloísio Magalhães, Modern art museum in Boa Vista district, Recife, Brazil

The Museu de Arte Moderna Aloísio Magalhães occupies a three-story building with seven exhibition halls located in downtown Recife. The spaces house a collection of modern and contemporary artworks on display.

The building was constructed in the mid-19th century as the Recife International Club and served as City Hall from the 1930s to the 1960s. It was transformed into an art museum in 1981.

The museum's name honours Aloísio Magalhães, the Recife-born designer and cultural figure. Its collection of 1,192 works is weighted toward modern and contemporary art, and a general project aims at equal representation of women and men artists, with growing visibility for women's production. Since 2016 a partnership with the Jacuípe Association in Água Preta has supported artistic residencies in Pernambuco's southern forest zone.

The technical reserve is not open freely: visits require prior scheduling and must be accompanied by the collection team, and in 2018 structural problems forced a reduction in visitor access to the reserve. The library, the Biblioteca e Centro de Documentação Pintora Lígia Celeste, serves researchers, students and anyone interested in the visual arts. The MAMAM no Pátio annex in the Pátio de São Pedro has been closed since 2014 after a beam collapsed in the adjoining house.

The Clube Foto MAMAM, in its second edition, was curated by Ricardo Resende and comprises five photographs, one each by Alberto Bitar, Gordana Manic, João Castilho, Jonathas de Andrade and Priscilla Buhr. Like the Múltiplos project, it encourages collecting and circulation of art in Pernambuco.
