MUDE – Museu do Design

DesignClosed · Opens 10amFrom €15Terreiro do Paço (Metro)

MUDE est le musée du design de la mairie de Lisbonne. Il occupe l’ancien siège du Banco Nacional Ultramarino, Rua Augusta, rouvert le 25 juillet 2024 après d’importants travaux de rénovation. Son exposition permanente de longue durée, « What are things for? », retrace l’histoire du design de 1900 à 2020 et replace le design portugais dans son contexte, aux côtés de pièces emblématiques de la mode et du design de produits internationaux. Des expositions temporaires sont consacrées au graphisme, aux créateurs émergents et à la joaillerie contemporaine. Au sixième étage, une terrasse végétalisée offre une vue sur la Baixa.
