MUDE - Museu do Design
MUDE—Museu do Design—occupies Rua Augusta n.º 24 in Lisbon, inside the former building of the BNU (Banco Nacional Ultramarino), a setting that ties everyday finance to the city’s later cultural ambitions. The museum’s collections are international in scope: it holds around a thousand design and utilitarian objects, alongside 1,200 pieces of haute couture, each aimed at reflecting the most artistically defining moments of the 20th century. These holdings gained a public home when the Lisbon City Council acquired the collection in 2002. The building is also linked to architect Tertuliano Marques, whose work frames a museum that doesn’t treat fashion as a side interest—it presents it as design history in its own right, measurable in garments as well as objects. One detail worth carrying with you is the ratio: MUDE’s fashion archive is nearly as large as its everyday design holdings.
