Cordoaria Nacional
Large models, film-inspired worlds, an interactive play area and a trick-photo gallery fill Cordoaria Nacional. A family-friendly exhibition rather than a guided building workshop; confirm current ticket and age rules.
Details & tickets →
Venue: see programme
Contemporary photography meets influential historical work in exhibitions spread across Lisbon. Pick a specific exhibition and its venue from the festival programme before setting off; the festival listing does not mean every activity happens at one address.
Details & tickets →
Padrão dos Descobrimentos
At Padrão dos Descobrimentos, this exhibition follows the monument’s image from 1940 onwards. Objects and visual references show how a familiar Lisbon landmark became part of everyday culture; this is an exhibition, not a house tour.
Details & tickets →
Pavilhão Julião Sarmento
At Pavilhão Julião Sarmento, Araújo’s installations, photographs, videos and other works explore psychological and existential questions. Books of watercolours inspired by a journey to southern South America are among the works; this is a gallery visit, not a scheduled live performance.
Details & tickets →
Gulbenkian · check the programme for the room
Learn to look more closely through drawing, using museum artworks and studio objects as starting points. Catarina Dias leads this Portuguese-language course for ages 16+. Important: this is a 16-session course, not a one-off holiday workshop. Bring your own drawing materials and ask the organiser about enrolment and attendance requirements.

MAAT - Museu de Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia
For an art afternoon with a little theatre in the room: Joana Vasconcelos’s large textile works meet Valentino’s couture at MAAT Gallery. Give the installation time rather than treating it as a quick fashion-photo stop. This is an exhibition, not a runway show. Check museum admission and any separate guided-visit arrangements.
Details & tickets →
Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian - Centro de Arte Moderna
CAM uses the storytelling world of One Thousand and One Nights to explore its collection. Think gallery visit and stories told through artworks, not a staged performance of the tales.
Details & tickets →
MAAT - Museu de Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia
Hard hats on: children aged 7–12 explore the old Central Tejo power station and discover how it once powered Lisbon. A guided activity, not just a look around the museum. Book the child’s session and confirm the spoken language and accompanying-adult arrangements with MAAT.
Details & tickets →
Campo Pequeno
This is a food-shop stop, not a flea market: certified organic producers bring fruit, vegetables, herbs and other Portuguese products to the Campo Pequeno garden. Pick up something seasonal for a picnic or a simple meal at home. The tourism board lists Saturday editions and free entry; confirm the current arrangements with Agrobio.

Programme ranges, not a session or opening every day.
MAAT - Museu de Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia
More than 300 books, catalogues and publications tell the story of MAAT’s first decade. A good stop for anyone interested in graphic design, artists’ books or how museums preserve ideas on paper; this is an exhibition, not a book market.
Details & tickets →
Venue: see programme
Browse stalls around the garden: antiques and crafts on some dates, organic produce on others. The year-long listing covers several recurring markets, not a market that opens every day.

Museu de Lisboa - Palácio Pimenta
Devrim Erbil’s city landscapes connect Istanbul and Lisbon through colour and urban rhythm. A painting-led stop at Palácio Pimenta, rather than a talk or a city walking tour.
Details & tickets →
Museu Banksy Lisbon, Rua Viriato 25B, Lisboa
Graffiti, films and installations introduce Banksy’s political and social ideas. The museum displays reproductions, not a collection of original street works—useful to know before choosing this stop.
Details & tickets →
MAAT - Museu de Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia
A slower gallery stop for anyone drawn to sound as much as shape. João Pimenta Gomes brings reflective metal forms, resonance and light together in MAAT’s Studio Space. This is a sound installation to spend time with, not a scheduled live concert or a wellness class. Check the museum’s visiting days before making it your Belém plan.
Details & tickets →
Pavilhão Julião Sarmento
Works from the Julião Sarmento Collection explore how American cinema, cities and cultural myths shaped postwar art. Rita McBride’s Arena is reimagined using reused materials. This is a gallery exhibition at Pavilhão Julião Sarmento, not a screening of the film.
Details & tickets →
Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian - Centro de Arte Moderna
See collection works that usually stay out of the galleries, in a space also used by museum professionals. This is a supervised, limited-capacity visit; check the published entry slots before arriving.
Details & tickets →
MAAT - Museu de Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia
MAAT’s Oval Gallery brings together Cabrita Reis’s paintings, drawings and sculptures. Familiar materials become part of a much larger conversation about art and the spaces around us. Pair this exhibition with a riverside Belém walk.
Details & tickets →
Gulbenkian · check the programme for the room
Rosana Antolí combines a sculpture on the garden pond with birdsong, electronic music and a soprano voice. This is an art-and-sound installation in Gulbenkian’s South Garden, not a live opera ticket or a talk.
Details & tickets →
Casa Fernando Pessoa
At Casa Fernando Pessoa, this exhibition follows how biographies, publishing and translations kept the writer’s work alive after 1935. Books, film excerpts and documents make it more than a simple timeline.
Details & tickets →
MAAT - Museu de Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia
At MAAT Central, works by Portuguese artists trace the collection from the 1960s onwards. A broad introduction to contemporary art, with photographs, sculpture and other media to explore.
Details & tickets →
MACAM - Museu de Arte Contemporânea
Sculptures and installations from the MACAM collection explore balance, materials and the forces that shape spaces. A three-dimensional art exhibition, not a fitness or outdoor event.
