The National Museum of Contemporary Art, took over a former convent in 1911, and was completely renovated in 1994, when Lisbon was the European Capital of Culture. It expanded to an adjacent building in 2015, but there still isn’t enough space to show its entire collection of works by the biggest names of modern and contemporary Portuguese art, so selected pieces are shown in temporary exhibitions.
To visit this museum, please get of at the stop called Largo Academia Nacional Belas Artes.
