This complex stands out for its futuristic silhouette, in dialogue with an old power station from the early 20th century. Behind the<strong>spectacular architecture<\/strong> lies a surprising journey through Portugal&#8217;s industrial history and contemporary art.<br\/><br\/>In this article, you&#8217;ll find our photos and tips for making the most of your visit to <strong>MAAT in Lisbon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/portugallovers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/visit-maat-lisboa.jpeg\" alt=\"MAAT, Lisbon - Visit\" class=\"wp-image-5076\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This opinion is completely <strong>independent<\/strong>, based on our experiences. We visited the region anonymously, making our own choices and paying our bills in full.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why visit MAAT?<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is MAAT worth it? Our review<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, without hesitation. MAAT offers an <strong>experience off the beaten track<\/strong>! The architecture alone is worth the trip: the contemporary building, designed by Amanda Levete, is a feat of engineering that can be discovered from the outside as well as the inside, with its accessible roof that becomes an urban promenade.<br\/><strong>The old power station impresses<\/strong> with its perfectly preserved original machinery, which tells the story of a century of Portuguese energy history. And if you come across a good temporary exhibition of contemporary art, that&#8217;s the bonus that makes the visit even more memorable. Allow 2 to 3 hours on site!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Portugal\/Lisboa\/Mus&#xE9;e-Art-Architecture-Technologie-MAAT\/i-KBfkN64\/0\/Lg2WxRdcbHkFLXbs2RFZ4vzLjWtN393dGBWc3Q4Js\/L\/maat-lisboa-09-L.jpg\" alt=\"MAAT, Lisbon - Worth it\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is MAAT famous?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MAAT has quickly gained international renown for its bold architecture, making it one of Lisbon&#8217;s most photographed buildings. Its hybrid approach &#8211; combining industrial heritage and contemporary creation &#8211; sets it apart from traditional cultural institutions. Its program of temporary exhibitions of contemporary art attracts an international audience and contributes to the cultural influence of the Portuguese capital.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Portugal\/Lisboa\/Mus&#xE9;e-Art-Architecture-Technologie-MAAT\/i-XM9t6S6\/0\/LrMdxkRBbsFppgvr87qn7RRfsjwBVM9BxHn6TfsSG\/L\/lisbonne-maat-tage-L.jpg\" alt=\"MAAT, Lisbon - Recognition\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our favorite<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We loved Ernesto Neto&#8217;s immersive installation <em>Nosso Barco Tambor Terra<\/em>, which you can enter and walk around. This monumental sculpture, halfway between a ship and a forest, envelops visitors in an organic universe of soft shapes, cocoons and crocheted trunks. As you move through this living work, you sense the profound dimension imagined by the artist: a gesture of spiritual alignment with nature as much as an idea of universal connection to others.

Its undulating shape, covered with 15,000 three-dimensional ceramic tiles, reflects the light of the Tagus, creating a unique visual interplay between water, sky and architecture. Conceived as an extension of the landscape, the building perfectly embodies the meeting of art, architecture and technology.<br\/>Its accessible roof extends the public space, offering one of the finest panoramic views of Lisbon, the Pont du 25-Avril, the river, the quays and the waterfront. A suspended walkway and pedestrian bridge link the city directly to the museum, making MAAT not only a cultural venue, but also a must-see urban belvedere.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Portugal\/Lisboa\/Mus&#xE9;e-Art-Architecture-Technologie-MAAT\/i-SvpbvPQ\/0\/Mc9FHzMkKKZFpvz8sdJ5qfNMmp9cJ46m4h53v8gS4\/L\/maat-lisboa-25-L.jpg\" alt=\"MAAT, Lisbon - Architecture\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Tagus power plant: an industrial monument<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opposite the contemporary building, the former power station (MAAT Central), built between 1908 and the 1940s, offers a striking contrast. Classified as an Asset of Public Interest, it has preserved its red-brick facades, metal structures and original machinery, transformed into veritable industrial sculptures. Carefully restored, it provides a spectacular backdrop for understanding Portugal&#8217;s energy history.<br\/>Inside, walkways and metal frameworks immerse visitors in the atmosphere of a real engine room, creating a powerful dialogue between industrial heritage and contemporary architecture.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Portugal\/Lisboa\/Mus&#xE9;e-Art-Architecture-Technologie-MAAT\/i-m586BXJ\/0\/LswGsZ4tMVzj8BWFZDZgWJN5SZXxpRqCMjqHd53ZN\/L\/maat-lisboa-29-L.jpg\" alt=\"MAAT, Lisbon - Architecture\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">L&#8217;Usine \u00e9lectrique: a journey through the history of energy<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A spectacular, unspoilt power plant<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MAAT Central houses the permanent exhibition &#8220;The Electric Factory&#8221;, which traces the operation of the former thermoelectric power station that supplied Lisbon from 1909 to 1972. Boilers, turbines, generators and control panels are preserved in their original state, offering a rare immersion in the country&#8217;s industrial history.<br\/>The authenticity of the site, which has remained intact since it was decommissioned, makes it one of Portugal&#8217;s most educational museums, particularly popular with schools.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Portugal\/Lisboa\/Mus&#xE9;e-Art-Architecture-Technologie-MAAT\/i-96gLBhq\/0\/Ks8bjrDbgVDLfz9tRHTDJg9HBfkXjknN7MCWq63Xp\/L\/maat-lisboa-08-L.jpg\" alt=\"MAAT, Lisbon - Tour inside the power station\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An educational route to renewable energies<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The museum exhibits almost 3,500 objects linked to the history of electricity: scientific instruments, meters, lighting fixtures, domestic appliances&#8230; A new area, &#8220;The History of Energy&#8221; (2023), addresses the current issues of energy transition and sustainable development.<br\/>Claire&#8217;s simple, clear presentation enables everyone &#8211; children and adults alike &#8211; to understand how our energy production and consumption patterns are changing.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Portugal\/Lisboa\/Mus&#xE9;e-Art-Architecture-Technologie-MAAT\/i-5SMphB8\/0\/MWZ9VmZKWMWGCZ4JTXbNcM6v9BRPvmPpN4fNMjrc3\/L\/maat-lisboa-12-L.jpg\" alt=\"MAAT, Lisbon - Tour inside the power station\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An exceptional contemporary art program<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">International programming in spectacular spaces<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Galerie MAAT hosts ambitious temporary exhibitions combining photography, video, installation, sculpture and digital art. The 3,000 sq. m. of modular exhibition space means that very large-scale works can be presented in optimal conditions. In Galerie Ovale, for example, we really enjoyed discovering the work of French artist Nicolas Le Floc&#8217;h, a renowned photographer of the marine world. His monumental fresco of 408 photographs on the colors of Tagus water and his spectacular images of the seabed lead us towards an ecological conscience.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Portugal\/Lisboa\/Mus&#xE9;e-Art-Architecture-Technologie-MAAT\/i-qzNXbrZ\/0\/K5q64J7MF33gfzCjx5BCNbhvTTJf8Qc9XtQVZmqDn\/L\/maat-lisboa-28-L.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nicolas Floc&#8217;h<em>, The Colour of Water &#8211; The Tagus River<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program is based on the EDP Foundation&#8217;s art collection (over 2,000 works by 300 artists), which has focused on the contemporary Portuguese scene since the 1960s, and is regularly open to international artists.
