Museu Coleção Berardo

L’art contemporain c’est… toujours très étrange à mon gout.
Par contre, je trouve ça génial d’y avoir accès gratuitement, l’endroit est démesurément grand, et dispose d’un bar/​restaurant avec une vue très sympa.
Plusieurs boutiques attenantes dont des boutiques d’art.
Bref, une bonne visite à faire même si on est pas passionné d’art contemporain !

Free.
Gallery with a range of artists, genres,… something for everyone. A few Warhol pieces, a Mondrian, a Picasso, and even a Dali.
Wifi.
Clean toilets.
Five stars!!!

Il s’agit sans doute de l’un des plus beau musée que j’ai vu à ce jour !
Un superbe bâtiment, situé près des attractions touristiques que sont la tour de Belem et le monastère des Hiéronymites.
La collection est assez impressionnante ! Un étage est réservé aux installations d’art contemporains, les plus recherchées les unes que les autres. J’ai particulièrement apprécié celle de Joseph Kosuth.
Un autre est consacré aux vieilles affiches, notamment de propagande communiste, très intéressant également.
Enfin le dernier étage, mon préféré, est celui des peintures et autres toiles. On y retrouve Magritte, Andy Warhol, El Lissitzky, Chagall, Delvaux, etc.
Et vous savez quoi? Ce musée est GRATUIT ! Si vous êtes à Lisbonne, n’hésitez plus et foncez histoire de vous mettre à l’abri du soleil 2 – 3 heures.

Impressively large and interestingly (not weirdly) curated.

Alors là, chapeau pour ce magnifique musée d’art contemporain !
Déjà, le bâtiment est vraiment canon !
Ensuite, il est gratuit, donc pas d’excuse pour les petits budgets.
Il n’est pas trop grand, prévoyez ²⁄₃ heures pour tout voir.
Après c’est de l’art contemporain, on aime ou on aime pas, moi j’adore !
Et plus c’est tordu, plus j’aime.
Je vous conseille d’acheter le livre du musée avant, comme ça vous aurez toutes les explications des œuvres.

This museum is amazing! And it’s free! It hosts the largest collection of contemporary art in Europe with works from artists like Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol. Highly recommended.

Very nice museum.
The architecture of the building reminds me the Egyptian temple.
Collection is large and mixed, a couple of piece are very very famous.
A negative point is about the interactive art piece (where you can activate something to make the art piece alive), this is not well indicated and something they are turned off.
The museum access was free and there is lift for ppl with mobility issues

BOTTOM LINE: It’s free. And it has AC for those hot Lisbon summers!
Easily accessible with the #15 street car, you can make a day trip out to the West of Lisbon to visit the Jeronimos Monastery, snack at Pasteis de Belem, walk along the beautiful harbourfront, and check out some art.
As it’s been noted, this gallery houses a private collection of various modern and contemporary pieces of art. The space is well laid out, and I thought the collections were well curated. I can’t imagine how much this would’ve cost, but I’m glad it was set up. If you’re ever in Lisbon, this is one gallery worth checking out.

This is a brilliant museum for modern and contemporary art. Even if you are not a big fan of the modern art exhibitions the museum has pure educational value. Both floors are very well structured by periods, tendencies and have detailed descriptions about the paintings, sculptures presented in every hall. The same descriptions are available in little booklets in both Portuguese and English. Must visit if you are in the neighbourhood of Belem!

If you like contemporary and modern art: take a visit to this museum. Its free and has a collection of many painting some more prominent than others. Its organized in chronological order by area but at some point it got confusing.
As someone who doesn’t speak the language it was difficult to under the full significance of the artwork.
They may also have a special exhibition on at the time.
But it was great to walk through. Spend about an 1 hour here at most.

Além da exposição permanente da colecção, a programação é sempre ambiciosa e procurano satisfazer públicos diferentes. Já assisti exposições temporárias extraordinárias nos últimos tempos, desde a primeira que vi, para aí em 2007 (Caminhos Excêntricos), passando pela Warhol TV, a Joana Vasconcelos Sem Rede ou, a última, já este ano, No Fly Zone. Acresce que o serviço educativo é de um enorme utilidade para a formação e ocupação de tempos livres dos mais jovens, ainda que os encargos associados sejam elevados.

É um must no roteiro cultural da cidade. A colecção está repleta de obras de artistas contemporâneos que não costumamos ter a oportunidade de ver regularmente. Uns desses nomes são Nan Goldin, Marcel Duchamp, Cindy Sherman, Gabriel Orozco, Helena Almeida, Salvador Dali, Jackson Pollock entre muito outros. A colecção está exposta frequentemente, sendo a unica alteração a disposição e contexto das peças. Conta também sempre com pelo menos um exposição temporária.

A colecção Berardo surpreendeu-​me muito, não só pela variedade de tipos de obras de arte como também pela diversidade dos artistas que a constituem. Antes de a visitar não tinha noção da sua dimensão e importância.
Poder visitar uma colecção de obras de arte destas sem pagar é sem dúvida um privilégio. Com cerca de 150 artistas representados, e com nomes que vão desde Pablo Picasso e Joan Miró a Amadeo de Souza Cardoso, uma só visita não chega para apreciar devidamente a exposição, qualquer que seja a nossa corrente artística ou tipo de estética preferida. E não há razões para nao voltar lá, não se paga entrada…

sempre gratuito e com exposições interessantes e de valor artístico! fui varias vezes à exposição sobre a Amália e também a uma exposição de diversos artistas com peças e instalações diversas! muito bom, vale bem o passeio por belém!

Superbe musée (gratuit !) avec une très belle collection a né pas rater. Boire un coup au café-​terrasse et passer a la librairie a l’intérieur. Top.

If you are into art or just like going to museums this one is a must. This holds the collection of entrepreneur Joe Berardo, he has been collecting works from the likes of Picasso, Dali, Lichtenstein, Warhol, among many others. And most of them are all here!
The works of art used to be in show at Sintra’s Museum of Modern Art, which was a very good venue in itself but too far away from the city centre and late 2007 the collection moved to a more permanent place in the Praça do Império, next to other great Portuguese treasures, like the Padrão dos Descobrimentos, Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, Archeological Museum, Torre de Belém, Palácio de S. Bento, Museu dos Coches, Maritime Museum, the Planetarium and the CCB (Centro Cultural de Belém). So you will be spoiled for choice if you go there. I would suggest going on a Sunday morning, a lot of museums in Portugal are free on that day and that time, so make good use of it.
The museum has a strong design identity and it is shown by the layout of the interior building, everything is well pointed out and you have stewards all along the museum to show you and help you with whatever you want.
