The Belém Museum of Art (MABE) is a public municipal museum located in the city of Belém, capital of the state of Pará, Brazil. Founded in 1991, it is subordinated to the Cultural Foundation of the Municipality of Belém (FUMBEL). Its headquarters is the Antônio Lemos Palace, a neoclassical style bui

The collection, of over 1,500 artworks, is composed of paintings, sculptures, drawings, engravings, photographs, and examples of applied arts (furniture and porcelain), from Brazil and abroad, produced between the 18th and 20th centuries. It has a library specialized in visual arts (approximately one thousand volumes), an auditorium, three permanent exhibition rooms, and two rooms for temporary exhibitions. The MABE maintains two other exhibition spaces in the city, the Municipal Art Gallery and the Museum of Popular Art, the latter located in the district of Icoaraci.
