As part of the joyous celebration of the 20th anniversary of Macao’s return to the Motherland, the Archives of Macao publishes a selection of over one hundred records from the collection of the Committee for Celebration Activities from All Sectors for the Return of Macao to the People’s Republic of China (CDSMP) to share important moments and milestones of the reunification and revive a collective memory that has been cherished for long.

The catalogue, in soft cover, records 52 works by 42 artists of the Renaissance Italy from the exhibition Italian Renaissance Drawings from the British Museum. Artists include Mantegna, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Titian, Raphael, and Rosso Fiorentino, among others. Divided into 6 sessions, namely ‘The Human Figure’, ‘Movement’, ‘Light’, ‘Costume and Drapery’, ‘The Natural World’, and ‘Storytelling’, the exhibition explores some of the themes that characterise Renaissance art. The catalogue also provides readers special articles, map of Renaissance Italy, glossary, etc.

(This book was published in Chinese) Li Dan (1933-2009) was a poet born in Macao, whose poems, in his early stage, were filled with patriotic passion and romantic imagination, while his later works have a calmer, more introspective character, with refined images and philosophical thoughts. This book is the first to gather Li Dan's poems. It includes 76 selected pieces and broadly presents his creation trajectory and the poet's stylistic changes. It helps on indirectly reflecting the evolution of Macao's poetry, from its content to its aesthetics, throughout the second half of the 20th century. It also includes interviews, forewords by friends and family, photographs, as well as essays about the appreciation of poetry, granting a multilayered introduction to the life and poetry of Li Dan, whose name is well-known but whose life is unknown in Macao's literary history. It is a contribution towards expanding the study of literature and poetry in Macao.

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Macao Special Administrative Region and of the Macao Museum of Art (MAM), MAM publishes this collection catalogue in six sections, namely "Historical Pictures", "Guangdong Paintings and Calligraphy", "Ceramics", "Macao Images", "Arts of Macao" and "Performance Art", aiming to report and showcase to the public the wonderful pieces of MAM collections gathered in the last two decades while letting them feel and experience the charm of traditional Chinese culture and Macao’s peculiar multi-cultural environment.
