Galeria Neupergama is located in Torres Novas, in the Salvador area. It is situated in a central part of the town, specifically on Rua Miguel Bombarda, near Praça do Peixe (Fish Square). Its location allows for easy integration into the urban pedestrian route.
Founded by José Carlos Cardoso, Galeria Neupergama officially opened its doors on December 8, 1980. Its creation stemmed from the desire to decentralize culture and bring significant art to Torres Novas, counteracting the trend of concentration in large urban centers. This legacy is now continued by his daughter.
Galeria Neupergama is dedicated to the exhibition of modern and contemporary art, with a particular connection to renowned artists in the Portuguese art scene. Throughout its history, it has hosted and represented prominent names, including its notable association with Mário Cesariny, who chose this space to exhibit his works for several years. The gallery continuously seeks to present quality works with a proven track record.
Considered a cultural landmark outside major centers, Galeria Neupergama demonstrates remarkable resilience over the decades. The space seeks to demystify the idea that art is only for a restricted group, advocating that art is, in fact, for everyone. This active role contributes to the cultural landscape of Torres Novas.
