MAAT (Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology)

This museum is a must visit when in Lisbon! It's near the waterfront, so you can visit the art and architecture museum first, break for a cappuccino and pastry at their café next, head to the historical technology museum next and then walk the beautiful waterfront last! Plan for at least four hours of fun!! The exhibitions spaces are huge! The art displays are huge too! And as a result, less to see so you won't get overwhelmed! Even if you are not a big fan of museums, this one will be a sure hit!!! And....I was able to make a dance video with my husband because they have a big mirrored wall near the coat lockers!! This museum will move you for sure! Enjoy!!!

I really enjoyed visiting MAAT – Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology. The museum itself is modern, unique, and beautifully designed, with interesting exhibitions inside. What I loved even more was the outside architecture — the building is stunning and perfect for photos. The rooftop and surrounding area offer amazing views, and you can capture beautiful pictures with the 25 de Abril Bridge in the background and MAAT in the foreground. It creates a really iconic Lisbon view. Even if you’re not deeply into museums, it’s still worth visiting for the architecture, riverside atmosphere, and photography opportunities. Highly recommended when in Lisbon!

Power station was a really cool experience to go through with a little bit of art, and was exquisitely clean and put together. The property was beautiful in every way. The art museum side had beautiful architecture and was well cared for, But we found the cafe to be way too expensive even with the views and the art currently on this way far from interesting, consisting of some basic clay work and what felt like doodles, with a chatgpt level description of why they would display it. Unimpressed.

the restored power station is fascinating. The restored power station is fascinating. The art sprinkled throughout the powerstation is not that great, feels a bit immitative / sophomoric. In the main building (the one you can climb the roof) the art installations are cold and uninspiring, somewhat forced. if you are to see one art museum in Lisbon, this is not it. But still worth a stop, glad we visited!

Fascinating! We were there for several hours enjoying the art installations and the exhibits of the power generation tech from the past. Very cool! The piece de resistance though was the beautifully designed architectural masterpiece tucked adjacent to the old power station.
