Nily
★★★★★7 months agoOne of the most beautiful exhibitions to see in Lisbon. The building itself is also very good. It has a calming atmosphere. You can see a lot of different exhibitions and the staff is also very nice. Definitely “a must see” if you are visiting Lisbon. After visiting the exhibitions, you can chill in the beautiful garden which is also very good designed. You feel like you are in another world:) I suggest you to go there a bit early and hang out with the ducks after your visit, there are restaurants/cafes you can sit at too.

★★★★★3 months agoThe modern collection had several expositions. Some were relatively small of one artist mainly, and one of the main rooms contained a lot of different pieces from different artists. There quite some variation, from paintings, sculptures, pictures and sound/video. The building and garden were also beautiful. I enjoyed the different collections, will definitely return.
