I was positively shocked by the sufficient amount of exhibits on the two levels of the museum. Apart from the impressive building, the popart section was my favourite as I saw works of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. Another positive thing is the price of the museum (12 euros) which was reduced on my visit to 7 euros! There’s still another gallery to open soon, so I guess when I visit Lisbon in the future I’d definitely visit this museum again.

Our group loved the main collection of the MAC. It reminded me of the Thyseen-Boremisza Museum in Madrid. Instead of an overview of 13c to 20c art, the MAC focuses on 20-21c art. Wonderful individual works. But the sum was much more than its parts. The curators have provided a wonderful tour of the major artistic threads of the last century or more. But one person in our group took advantage of the combined entrance ticket to venture to the Architecture Center across the plaza from the main MAC/CCB building for its much more Portugal-centric offerings. He was enthusiastic about an exhibit that tracked the impact of the hilly topography of Lisbon on the strong and inward looking multiple neighborhoods.

We visited here after a trip to the MAAT gallery that is a short walk away. After some initial difficulties in finding the entry and ticket office we went in. There is a large and diverse collection of modern work, all artistic styles are represented. In some ways there is too much to take in at one trip I was a bit numbed by the end. Unfortunately I can’t see me being able to make a return trip anytime soon. Together this galley and MAAT are well worth the trip from the centre of Lisbon. We walked but you can do it by public transport. It’s about 3 miles. And the restaurant here Uniquo is social enterprise that also makes tremendous food so support that when you visit

The Museum (or rather Art Gallery) is very large and very impressive. Exhibits in each room are from a particular art movement and are displayed chronologically. Each art movement is explained at the entrance of each room. Highly recommended if you’re in Belem.

The museum has a vast collection of artworks, you easily spend at least 3h inside if you want to enjoy the museum to the fullest! Lots of contemporary art and an immersion into surrealism, Dadaism etc. There’s also a big wall in glass facing exotic plants which is really relaxing! Loved it

CCB/MAC is an architectural and cultural splendour. They house exhibitions and live performances by the likes of Marco Da Silva, Fred Sandback and their permanent exhibition is beautifully curated. If in Lisbon, this venue must be on your list of places to experience.

Huge museum structure and modern architecture. The exhibition of contemporary art is very beautiful, the path from the early twentieth century to the eighties, by genre, is perfectly constructed. There are important works. To visit! Very nice. Then in the complex there are several shops, bars and restaurants and gardens. Have a nice trip!

Visiting the Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC/CCB) was a very exciting experience. The collection is excellent and extremely impressive. The museum is well-designed and the atmosphere is fascinating. I admired the museum and the collection. I strongly recommend everyone to visit MAC/CCB in Lisbon.

You have to visit it. From the entrance with its gardens to the works found in the MAC, they are unmissable. It is a very well arranged space where it is possible to learn something about Picasso, Dali, Bacon, Warhol, Duchamp and more. Jorge Molder's photographs disturbed me a little. And I was impressed by the work of Robert Gober, and also that of Adriana Varejão. Additionally, at level 0, a special mention to the architectural work of Marina Tabassum.

The museum is located in a modern complex. I only toured the second floor Berardo Collection Museum and oh what a collection. The collection is arranged by schools and well narrated in two languages. Signage is clear and it is probably the most well designed review of art that allows one to focus on the art itself instead of what room or where to go next. Kudos to all who have made this museum a reality.
