Belém Contemporary Art Museum

Praça do Império, Lisboa, Lisboa

Description

The Contemporary Art Museum (previously called the Berardo Collection Museum) is housed in the Belem Cultural Center, in Western Lisbon. Its collections span surrealism, pop art, minimalist art, hyper-realism, and conceptual art. Artists such as Warhol, Mondrian, Kline or Dali are represented.

Access & Transport

The museum is in Western Lisbon, next to the Jerónimos Monastery. Tram 15E and bus 729 stop in front of the building at 'Centro Cultural Belém'

Instructions & Recommendations

We suggest combining this activity with the Tower of Belem, the Jerónimos Monastery and/or the Padrão dos Descobrimentos monument.

Meta review

The museum gets positive reviews for its buildings as well as its varied collection even though it is a little limited. It is also not crowded, set in a convenient location, and very affordable.

Environmental & Social

No environmental data. Some carbon footprint from electricity (cooling and heating). Helps spread the arts

Conclusion

This is a good modern and contemporary art museum but not one that will make your change your mind if you are not into that. Recommended for those with some spare time in the Belem area.

Key positive

Broad range of modern art movements

Cheap entrance fee and good location

Key negative

Collection lacks depth and masterpieces

Suitability

Accessible to visitors with reduced mobility. Children under 14 may not be interested in this type of art
