A must-see contemporary art museum. Works by Portuguese artists from the 19th century to the present day.

In the beautiful setting of a former convent (Convento de S. Francisco), come and discover a considerable collection illustrating the romantic, naturalistic and modern period: paintings, drawings and sculptures by Portuguese artists from the 19th century to the present day. This museum was created in 1911, when the National Museum of Fine Arts was divided into two: the National Museum of Ancient Arts and the Chiado Museum dedicated to contemporary art. Works by Rodin and Bourdelle are on permanent display. This Museu Nacional de Arte Contemporânea (MNAC) also regularly presents temporary exhibitions and musical activities. At the beginning of your visit on the metal footbridge, you will not miss Jazz and Bar de Marinheiro, the two splendid and remarkable works of the futurist José de Almada Negreiros (1893-1970), an inspired versatile artist and great friend of Fernando Pessoa. He was one of the great important figures of the Portuguese avant-garde. Lovers of the artist, painter and poet, will not miss the illustrative panels inside the Rocha do Conde de Óbidos ferry terminal, on the Alcântara doca. Renovated in the early 1990s with the intervention of the French architect Jean-François Wilmotte, this museum has been extended since June 2016 to a second building connected to the first by a corridor. It is now accessible through 2 entrances: Serpa Pinto and Capelo streets. Good to know, it also has a cafeteria with a very pleasant inner courtyard where it is possible to have a brunch at the weekend.

Petit mais très sympathique:

Pour le prix dérisoire, j'ai vu une très belle expositions d œuvre de Sousa lopes. Et d'autres œuvres d artistes plus comptemporains. À voir si vous avez un peu de temps.
