About MAAT - Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology

MAAT has the ambition of displaying Portuguese and international contemporary artists, architects and thinkers, reflecting on major topics and current trends. With this venue, the company makes a decisive contribution to the landscape and artistic evolution of the Portuguese capital, while also hosting several curatorial interpretations of the EDP Foundation Art Collection, with a plethora of programs that render it an important node in the city cultural scene.

The museum architecture is also innovative. The project fosters a dialogue between two worlds: a new building designed by the Amanda Levete Architects firm, and one of the Portuguese architectural icons of the first half of the 20th century - Tejo Central, one of the most popular museum hubs in the country. The complex is located in a 38,000m2 park on the banks of the Tagus River.

MAAT cultural programming started on June 30, taking over renovated rooms in the Tejo Central building. The new building will open to the public on October 5, with the first installment of Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster "Utopia/Dystopia", a project specifically created for the venue. On this occasion, visitors will also be able to explore the exhibitions "The World of Charles and Ray Eames", curated by London Barbican Centre, and "The Form of Shape", part of the Lisbon Architecture Triennale.
