Description

Warning: Admission tickets for residents in Portugal are available at a reduced price upon presentation of a valid ID proving Portuguese residency. If you live in Portugal, please present yourself to the museum reception. A must see in Lisbon, the MAC/CCB – Museum of Contemporary Art and Architecture Centre is the most international museum of contemporary art in Portugal. The museum houses the portuguese State Contemporary Art Collection (CACE), the Teixeira de Freitas Collection, and the Berardo Collection. Here, visitors may enjoy works by both contemporary and twentieth-century artists, from a range of cultural backgrounds, who work in different media and have contributed to the history of art. The museum gives an insight of the main paths of artistic practices, either in the permanent exhibition of the Berardo Collection or through temporary exhibitions. Names such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Marcel Duchamp, Piet Mondrian, Joan Miró, Max Ernst, Vieira da Silva, Andy Warhol, Donald Judd, Bruce Nauman, Lourdes Castro, Helena Almeida and Cindy Sherman, among others, are presented in context with the art movements that they helped define. The works are arranged in chronological order, which allows the viewer to travel through time and gain a thorough knowledge of each context. A varied programme covering educational activities, conferences and guided tours is available to everyone visiting the museum. The MAC/CCB, which includes the Architecture Centre, reinforces the mission of the Centro Cultural de Belém, enhancing the dialogue between the visual arts, architecture, and the performing arts through the presentation of temporary exhibitions by contemporary artists. The Architecture Centre reopened in April 2025 with an architectural project by the Swiss-Portuguese studio BUREAU. This project reimagines the south garage of CCB as a flexible space, accommodating exhibitions, workspaces, public events, and communal gatherings. Opened on 27 October 2023, the MAC/CCB can be visited from Tuesday to Sunday, between 10 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.
