Fundação Arpad Szenes / Vieira da Silva

Fundação Arpad Szenes / Vieira da Silva is an art museum in a restored 18th-century former silk factory near Príncipe Real. Its permanent collection focuses on the 20th-century painters Arpad Szenes and Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, with temporary exhibitions by related modern artists.

The museum is a quieter Lisbon stop, good for travellers interested in modern painting and Portuguese art beyond the headline museums. The building itself also adds texture, with old industrial fabric adapted to a calm gallery setting.
