📖

Full description

The Museu Nacional de Arte Contemporânea occupies the former São Francisco da Cidade convent, renovated after the 1994 Chiado fire. Its galleries mix modern Portuguese art with older portraits, an eclectic pairing that some visitors find puzzling and others enjoy.

The long, quiet corridors and empty-feeling rooms have earned the museum an online reputation for looking like the 'backrooms' of internet lore. It suits a relaxed hour or two in the Chiado area, particularly for solo visitors who like uncrowded galleries.
