Museums and Palaces

A must-visit in Lisbon, the Museum of Contemporary Art – MAC/CCB opened its doors on October 27th 2023. The Museum receives in deposit works from the State Contemporary Art Collection (CACE), the Teixeira de Freitas Collection, the Ellipse Collection, and the Berardo Collection.

Names such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Marcel Duchamp, Piet Mondrian, Joan Miró, Max Ernst, Francis Bacon, Andy Warhol, Louise Bourgeois, Paula Rego, Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, Donald Judd, Bruce Nauman or Cindy Sherman, among many others, are presented on the board of the movements that their works allowed to define, enabling a journey through time and an in-depth knowledge of each context.

The new MAC/CCB, which includes the Architecture Center/Garagem Sul, affirms the mission of the Centro Cultural de Belém, enhancing the dialogue between visual arts, architecture, and performing arts with the presentation of temporary exhibitions by contemporary artists.
