This cultural space is situated in the Belém area, a historical and widely known part of Lisbon. It is integrated into the Centro Cultural de Belém (CCB) building, a modern and prominent architectural complex located along the Tagus River. Its position in Praça do Império places it within a spacious and open environment, typical of this section of the city.
The central element of this venue is its art collection. Focused on modern and contemporary art, the collection encompasses a wide range of artistic movements and trends from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day. It features works that allow visitors to appreciate the diversity and evolution of plastic arts during this period, with pieces by Portuguese and international artists who have marked the history of art.
The collection is organized to provide visitors with a journey through the most significant moments of 20th and 21st-century art. Starting with the early avant-gardes, such as Cubism or Surrealism, the exhibition guides visitors through crucial periods like Pop Art, Minimalism, and the most recent movements. It is an opportunity to observe how ideas and forms of artistic expression have transformed over more than a hundred years.
Integrated into the Centro Cultural de Belém, the exhibition space consists of galleries designed to house these types of works. The rooms are conceived to create an environment conducive to the contemplation and study of the pieces. The arrangement of the works invites careful appreciation, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the different artistic eras and styles presented in the collection.
