Belgium is known throughout the world for its wide array of tastes, AP PHOTO from extreme sour to bitter, pro- duced in just about every city and village across the west European nation of 11 million people. The history of Belgian suds stretches back centuries to medieval monks and has been celebrated in pain- tings by Pieter Brueghel and in countless songs since. Brussels regional leader Rudi Vervoort said that beer “has been a part of our society since time immemorial.” It is not all history with Belgian beer though.

THURSDAY (DEC 8) AD Lib – Recent Works by Konstantin Bessmertny

This year, the exhibition Ad Lib – Recent Work of Konstantin Bessmertny is going to be held in the Macau Museum of Art.

In this generous exhibition space, the artist seems to improvise a bustling and humourous show that echoes different social phenomena, reflecting Bessmertny’s personal musings.

Time: 10am-7pm (No admission after 6:30 pm, closed on Mondays) Until: May 28, 2017 Venue: Macau Museum of Art, Av. Xian Xing Hai, s/n, NAPE Admission: MOP5 (Free on Sundays and public holidays) Enquiries: (853) 8791 9814 http://www.mam.gov.mo 02.12.2016 fri
