MUDE – Museu do Design

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

O MUDE é o museu de design da Câmara Municipal de Lisboa, instalado na antiga sede do Banco Nacional Ultramarino, na Rua Augusta. Reabriu a 25 de julho de 2024, depois de uma profunda renovação. A exposição de longa duração «Para que servem as coisas?» percorre a história do design de 1900 a 2020, contextualizando o design português lado a lado com ícones internacionais da moda e do design de produto. As exposições temporárias abordam o design gráfico, criadores emergentes e a joalharia contemporânea. No sexto piso, um terraço ajardinado oferece vistas sobre a Baixa.
