Guided Tour Art and Literature

In a guided tour by writer Afonso Reis Cabral, the MACAM collection is transformed, from the author's very personal perspective, into a narrative journey where the works engage in dialogue with major themes in Portuguese literature, summoning characters, atmospheres and conflicts that run through our literary tradition.

From naturalism to modernism and the avant-garde, each room builds bridges between painting, sculpture and the written word, revealing how different generations of artists and writers shared aesthetic concerns, formal rupture and new ways of representing reality.
