Why you should visit it
The main building houses the headquarters of the Foundation and part of the art collection (ancient Egypt, Eastern art, European painting and jewelry). The Modern Art Centre has paintings from Portuguese artists like Almada Negreiros and Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso. Check if there is a performance in the outdoor amphitheater.
Special tip
In a sunny day take a blanket or beach towel and lay down near the lake with a book and the ducks’ company.
