ArtClosed · Opens 10amFrom €10Baixa-Chiado (Metro)

Ιδρύθηκε το 1911, όταν η συλλογή του πρώην Museu Nacional de Belas-Artes χωρίστηκε στα δύο. Το Museu do Chiado στεγάζει την εθνική συλλογή έργων τέχνης της Πορτογαλίας από το 1850 έως σήμερα, η οποία περιλαμβάνει και αρκετούς εθνικούς θησαυρούς. Καταλαμβάνει τμήμα του πρώην Convent of São Francisco στο Chiado, το οποίο ανακαινίστηκε και επαναλειτούργησε το 1994. Η μόνιμη παρουσίαση "Impressões Digitais" φέρνει σε διάλογο τη ζωγραφική, τη γλυπτική, τη φωτογραφία, την εγκατάσταση και το βίντεο, ενώ στις αίθουσές του στις Rua Serpa Pinto και Rua Capelo φιλοξενείται παράλληλα ένα διαρκώς ανανεούμενο πρόγραμμα περιοδικών εκθέσεων.
