Museu Nacional de Arte Contemporânea - Museu do Chiado
Portuguese art from the 19th century onwards in a museum housed in the former Convento de São Francisco in Chiado.
The collection includes Portuguese painting, sculpture, photography and installation from the 19th century onwards. The museum has occupied spaces in Convento de São Francisco since 1911. Entrances are at Rua Serpa Pinto, 4, and Rua Capelo, 13, in Chiado.
It is in the Baixa & Chiado neighbourhood. If you have time, Rua Nova do Carvalho (Rua Cor-de-Rosa) is 3 minutes on foot. On a rainy day, swap for MUDE - Museu do Design, the closest indoor option. It pairs well with the Cacilhas and Cristo Rei, across the Tagus trip. The nearest metro station is Baixa / Chiado, about 300 m away; see how to use the metro.
