Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian

The Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian exhibits nearly 12,000 pieces of modern and contemporary Portuguese art alongside international works in a renovated building.

British architect Leslie Martin designed the original museum structure in 1983, while Japanese architect Kengo Kuma transformed the building during a renovation completed in 2023.

The museum features rotating exhibitions of Portuguese artists, international creators, and maintains dedicated spaces for drawings, installations, and multimedia presentations.

Visitors can access the museum through the new entrance on Rua Marquês da Fronteira and explore both indoor galleries and outdoor garden spaces.

The building incorporates a 100-meter canopy made from ash planks and white Portuguese ceramic tiles, creating a transitional space between museum and garden.
