Museu Calouste Gulbenkian - Centro de Arte Moderna
The Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian, or Museu Calouste Gulbenkian – Centro de Arte Moderna, is one of Lisbon’s most important staging grounds for contemporary art in Portugal, built to hold and activate Gulbenkian’s modern artistic heritage. The museum opened in 1983, and it has since grown into a major venue for modern and contemporary Portuguese works. What makes this stop especially distinctive right now is that the building itself is undergoing change. The museum’s current structure has been under renovation, and the plan is to reopen with a reformulated building by Kengo Kuma for its 40th anniversary—originally aimed at 2023, then pushed back to 21 September 2024. During this renovation phase, the CAM has continued developing activities beyond the limits of the building. Even the studio named on the project—OODA—signals that this is not just a maintenance cycle, but a rethinking of how modern art can be housed and experienced.
