A collection in two stages
MACAM's collection was developed in two distinct stages.
In the first, beginning in 1974, collector Armando Martins focused exclusively on Portuguese art, favouring the artistic movements of the twentieth century.
From the 2000s onwards, he expanded the collection to include contemporary international art, with a special focus on the late twentieth- and twenty-first centuries.
This exhibition, installed in Gallery 1 and 2 on the ground floor of the palace, has been made permanent in order to offer a comprehensive view of the collection and ensure continuous access to the significant works of art history that characterise the MACAM collection. Occasionally, some artworks will be replaced.
