Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian (CAM)
CAM occupies a building redesigned by Kengo Kuma, with a project bringing its art spaces into closer contact with the garden.
CAM forms part of the Gulbenkian complex in Avenidas Novas. Kengo Kuma redesigned Leslie Martin’s original building, inaugurated in 1983, working with landscape architect Vladimir Djurovic. A canopy clad in white tiles draws on the Japanese engawa concept, creating a transition towards the garden.
It is in the Avenidas Novas neighbourhood. If you have time, Jardim Gulbenkian is 0 minutes on foot. On a rainy day, swap for Museu Calouste Gulbenkian, the closest indoor option. The nearest metro station is São Sebastião, about 300 m away; see how to use the metro.
