Built on the northern bank of the Tagus between 1514 and 1520 as part of the Tagus estuary defence system, the Tower of Belém is one of the architectural jewels of the reign of Manuel I.
In the tower as a whole one can distinguish two distinct volumes and military architectural models: the mediaeval keep tower and the modern bulwark which, as it contained two artillery levels, allowed for long-distance cannon firing as well as ricochet shots over the water.
The Tower of Belém is a cultural reference, a symbol of the specificity of Portugal at the time, including its privileged exchange with other cultures and civilisations. As a protector of Portuguese individuality and universality, the tower saw its role confirmed in 1983 when it was classified by UNESCO as 'Cultural Heritage of Humanity'.

The Ajuda National Palace was declared National Monument under a governmental Decree dated 16th June 1910. During the first decades of the Republican regime it depended on the Public Treasury and remained the stage of official ceremonies and host of visitors allowed by the Treasury.
In 1968 it opened to the public as a house-museum and since the eighties has grown to be an outstanding museological institution within both national and international scenes. From the eighties on, a reconstitution, as accurate as possible, of this royal residence was started, on the basis of rigorous historical research. In 1996, the program "One Room, One Patron" was introduced, which aimed to recover the palace back to the decorations and settings from the time of D. Luís. Since then, nine rooms have been refurbished under the patronage of private institutions. Currently the Ajuda Palace building is not merely the former royal residence. The north wing of the palace houses the Ajuda Library (former royal library), the Painting Gallery of King Luís I (designed for the presentation of paintings from the sovereign's private collection and currently under the direct management of the General Directorate for Cultural Heritage) and the State Secretary for Culture. The fourth floor of the south wing houses the General Directorate for Cultural Heritage. A dignifying scenario for the official State ceremonies, the Ajuda Palace has always played such a role from the earliest times to the present day. It is as such that the Ajuda National Palace still lends its glamour to the ceremonies of the Presidency of the Republic, in addition to being one of the most important museums of decorative arts in the country.

The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation was created in 1956 by the last will and testament of Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian, a philanthropist of Armenian origin who lived in Lisbon between 1942 and the year of his death, 1955.

Established in perpetuity, the Foundation's main purpose is to improve the quality of life through art, charity, science and education. The Foundation directs its activities from its headquarters in Lisbon and its delegations in Paris and London, with support provided by Portugal in Portuguese-speaking African Countries (PALOP) and East Timor, as well as in countries with Armenian Communities.

The Foundation has a museum, which houses Calouste Gulbenkian's private collection, and a Modern Art Center (CAM) which holds the most important collection of modern and contemporary portuguese art; an orchestra and a choir; an art library and archive; a scientific research institute; and a garden, in a central area of the city of Lisbon, where educational activities also take place.

In conjunction with cultural activities, the Foundation fulfils its mission through innovative programmes that develop pilot projects and support, by providing scholarships and grants for other institutions and social organisations.

For the period 2018-2022, the three priority areas are: - social cohesion and integration, sustainability and knowledge - which are reflected across the whole intervention strategy.

The Museu de São Roque first opened to the public in 1905, located in the former Professed House of the Society of Jesus, a religious house adjoining the Church of São Roque. This church had been founded in the second half of the 16th century, as the first church of the Society of Jesus in Portugal. It kept the original name of the former shrine of São Roque, which existed in the same location. Its interior show a great and rich variety of artworks, namely azulejos, (coloured tiles), paintings, sculptures, inlaid marbles, gilt woodworks, reliquaries, etc, all of which belong nowadays to Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa [The Holy House of Mercy works]. In this church stands out the famous side Chapel of St. John the Baptist, commissioned by King John V of Portugal to Italian artists, and built in Rome between 1744 and 1747, which represents in Portugal a unique example of the late-roman baroque art.
The museum exhibits one of the most important collections of religious art in Portugal, originating from the Church of São Roque as well as from the Professed House of the Society of Jesus. This artistic heritage was donated to the Misericórdia de Lisboa by D. José I, in 1768, after the expulsion of the Society of Jesus from the national territory. Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa is a secular institution of social and philanthropic work with over 500 years helping the city population through a wide range of social and health services.
Highly prized collections of artworks as well as liturgical vestments make up the art treasure of Museu de São Roque, worth visiting next to the church.

The Museu Coleção Berardo presents the most significant artistic movements from the twentieth century to the present day. In this museum, it is possible to find works by artists from the most diverse cultural contexts and with the most varied forms of expression, all of whom would come to make up the art history of the last century. Names such as Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Piet Mondrian, Joan Miró, Max Ernst, Vieira da Silva, Francis Bacon, Andy Warhol, Donald Judd and Bruce Nauman, among many others, are presented within the framework of the artistic movements which their works allowed to define through a chronological succession that enables the spectator to take a trip through the period in question.
On the floor 2, the visitor can find an initial section devoted to historic avant-garde movements such as Cubist Space, Dadaism, Constructivisms, Surrealism, Informalism and Pop Art. Covering a major area of the floor -1, the continuation of the route through the second half of the twentieth century through to the present day is marked out, presenting Minimalism, Conceptualism, Arte Povera, as well as the wide range of approaches that have come to construct the present.
Throughout this broad historical panorama, it is also be possible to discover the small stories that have not been confined to the unity of an axiom but have actualised other possibilities, constituting in themselves an ongoing creation of other expressions and other times within history itself.

Open every day, Monday to Sunday, from 10:00 - 19:00 (last admission: 18:30).

The National Museum of Ethnology / Popular Art Museum holds in its collections the most relevant ethnographic heritage in Portugal. It is responsible for the safeguarding and management of nearly half a million items.

The museum's ethnographic collections are divided into two separate groups. There is the collection assembled by the National Museum of Ethnology's staff dating from the museum's launch in 1962, created by the team who introduced the field of modern anthropology to Portugal. These collections, totaling 42,000 objects, are representative of 80 countries and 5 continents, with greater emphasis on cultures from Africa, Asia and South America, and traditional Portuguese culture.

Many of these collections were exhaustively documented through field research, and are inseparable from the important photographic, film, sound and drawing archives that constituting a significant part of the nearly half a million items that make the Museum's movable heritage.

The second set of the museum's collection consists of 11.600 objects from the Popular Art Museum, largely assembled in the 1930s and early 1940s for the propaganda exhibitions promoted by the regime of Estado Novo. They differ significantly from their matching parts of the collections of the National Museum of Ethnology due to the lesser amount of information available, if any, about their origin.

Following the transfer of the collections of the Museum of Popular Art in 2007 to the building of the National Museum of Ethnology, both museums were merged in 2012 into a single museum - National Museum of Ethnology / Popular Art Museum.

The mission of the National Coach Museum is to provide for the promotion, research and conservation of its collections in the firm belief that museums play a central role in the generation of human, social and economic growth. The recently inaugurated building leads the way in the making of new history for the museum, marked by our endeavour to include all of the necessary elements to accomplish this mission.
The new Coach Museum emerges, not only, as a cultural site but also as a public utility space. In the words of the architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha "the Museum has no doors and relates to all of its surroundings". The project is more than a museum; in the end it functions as an urban infrastructure providing a public utility space for the city.
Thus, two concerns coexist; on the one hand the primary need to expand the exhibition area of the museum and its technical support infrastructure, while on the other, the need to create additional attractions for the most visited museum in the country. Moreover, there was a need to bind one of Lisbon's most prominent fronts, the Belém monument area, where the construction of the new building has created a new dynamism in the museum's surrounding area, creating new public spaces and urban walkways in the city that are reminiscent of earlier times.
The new Coach Museum building comprises a main hall with a suspended nave and an annex, which is connected by an overpass, enabling circulation from one building to the other. This layout creates a gantry like structure directed towards an internal square, where the old Rua da Junqueira buildings also face.
The new museum encompasses premises for the permanent and temporary exhibitions, reception halls, and a workshop for conservation and restoration, a contribution towards the development of conservation and restoration activities of this unique legacy.
New spaces have been provided for the Library and the Archive, as well as an Auditorium, which will allow for the organization of a number of cultural activities that will greatly improve the scope of the public programs offered by the museum.
To accommodate visitors, restaurant services, a Museum Shop and a Tourist Information centre have been projected.
Reference must also be made to the surrounding areas of the new building, specifically, the Museum Square, a free public access area intended for the development cultural and leisure activities.

Created in 1884, and housed in the Palácio Alvor for almost 130 years, the MNAA-Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga has had its current title for more than a century. It is the home to the most important Portuguese public collection of art, ranging from paintings to sculpture, and gold and silverware, as well as decorative arts from Europe, Africa and the Far East.

Comprising over 40,000 items, the MNAA collection has the largest number of works classified by the State as "national treasures". In its various sections, it also has a number of major works of art in the context of the world artistic heritage.

A historical legacy (resulting from the incorporations of both the country's ecclesiastical property and the contents of its royal palaces), the MNAA collection has been further enhanced over the years through generous donations and important purchases, illustrating, at the level of objective excellence, some of the best artistic work produced or accumulated in the above areas in Portugal, between the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Contemporary Era.

As a major partner in international collaborations between museums, the MNAA has historically enjoyed the normal dignity of a national museum: it is the museum that establishes the accepted norms for good practices, once more in keeping with international standards, both in the area of conservation and museum management and under the scope of its education service, which is considered to be a pioneering body in Portugal.

The National Museum of Contemporary Art - Museu do Chiado, founded in 1911, was one of the first museums of contemporary art being created throughout the world. Located in Lisbon's historical centre, featuring the leading collection of Portuguese art from the second half of the nineteenth century until the present day the museum is of mandatory visit for the understanding and enjoyment of modern and contemporary Portuguese art. The temporary exhibitions program is of great importance within the overall scope of the museum activities. The presentation of the collection is periodically renewed on their temporal or thematic segments, according to a sustained work of historical and critical research, but the programme is not limited to the Portuguese art, focusing on artists and movements of the international modernism and also monitoring and disseminating contemporary artistic creation, both national and international, through co-productions with other museums and art centers.
