The MAS is an open house and a meeting place where you can walk in and out. It's a place where you look at the world, the city and yourself. More than 500,000 objects in the MAS collection form a river of tales about art and cultural traditions from all over the world, about the history of the city and the port, about overseas shipping and trade. The iconic building is the place where city and world meet and where the connection is made between the past, present and future.
