First on my list of Lisbon's fine museum selection was this interesting new building on the riverfront. Valkyrie Octopus by world famous Joana Vasconcelos is a very large textile installation first exhibited in a Macau resort. Without a table reservation I had to eat my lunch outside on the terrace though view of the bridge was a plus. I returned later to take more pictures of it from the roof and found the best way to reach the museum by tram and connecting walkway over the railroad.

Surprising combination of art and technology. The technological part, a power plant dissected, is interesting not only for youngsters, but for everyone. Well done. The art section with Joana Vasconcelos as the main attraction is worth visiting. Portuguese artists are not so well known unfortunately.

Well, the entry ticket is for both buildings, first, the old powerhouse building is interesting. but the second building did not have much to show and it took us barely 30 minutes to visit. Maybe later when it is the tourists season, they would have more to show.

Save your money and definitely go to the building and the roof and do not go inside. The exhibits in the cool building were strange and weird and not on a good way. Just bizarre. The old building is just more odd exhibits and the workings of the old energy plant. A big pass.

One of the highlights of our trip. Very different museum to what one is used to, but will need a little bit of a science / engineering background to appreciate. Well worth the time if you are curious about energy as an industry.

An excellent trip alongside the Cultural centre nearby. There are two beautiful buildings beside each other. One is the former power station, now a museum and this gallery, a beautiful tiled organic form by the riverside.

Fantastic space & design. We enjoyed hearing and seeing people interact with the Ernesto Neto exhibition. It felt and sounded a bit primal! The Nicolas Floch exhibition was eerie and had a similarly visceral effect. The deep sea still photographs and a huge video installation were fantastic.

Small museum with fantastic architecture, worth seeing for that alone. However, the exhibits are usually nothing special. Fine if you’re already in the area or coming to see the building itself, but not worth making a destination.

Two parts to the museum - the old red brick power station, fabulously restored with all the machinery/plant there to see, and the new sleek modern building with the art. Both were great to go round with my son, spending longer than anticipated there. Well worth the visit.

Located in a beautiful spot on the river with great views, Maat is a funky space but limited on exhibits. When we went, there was an interactive music piece and a thought-provoking collection based on a photographic journal. The cafe is a great place to sit and enjoy the outlook to the other side of the Tagus, and you must also make sure to walk on the roof!
