Culture Visit Lisbon 
What do we propose this spring-summer? Feel like a marquis in the gardens of a palace, step inside a painting or challenge the laws of creativity and talent, through ceramics, illustration and design.
Explore five surprising exhibitions in the city of seven hills from the Hotel Marquês de Pombal, located on the charming Avenida da Liberdade. Take advantage of your stay at our 4-star hotel in Lisbon to awaken your senses and immerse yourself in the artistic richness of the Portuguese capital with these remarkable exhibitions:
1. Bordalo em Trânsito
A notable figure in Portuguese culture, Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro changed the artistic panorama in Portugal in the second half of the 19th century.
From graphic arts to ceramics, including visual arts, cartoons, object design and decoration, this multifaceted artist was part of the circle of intellectuals that marked the 70s Generation.
Until June 30th, you can visit his iconic work in the exhibition “Bordalo em Trânsito” at the Bordalo Pinheiro Museum, in Campo Grande. In an essay that revisits his favourite themes, this exhibition offers a plural and informed reading of this personality's talent.
With a current approach, “Bordalo em Trânsito” promises to awaken the critical and humorous spirit of the public, becoming a mandatory stop for art lovers. Will you join us at this exhibition? Discover it here!
2. Pintura em Movimento (Painting in Motion)
Have you visited the first Portuguese immersive exhibition dedicated to the work of a national artist? “Pintura em Movimento” is an ode to the talent of the internationally recognized artist Maria Helena Vieira da Silva.
Born in Lisbon, Vieira da Silva established herself as a painter in Paris, becoming one of the most celebrated abstract artists in Europe in the 1950s.
Allow yourself to immerse in a sensorial experience that combines art, moving image and sound, in an innovative way. To accompany this artistic journey, you can count on the original soundtrack by musician and composer Rodrigo Leão.
This spring-summer, let yourself be enveloped by the magic of colours and shapes in a unique setting, which transports us to a universe of emotions and contemplation. Waiting for you at Fundação Arpad Szenes – Vieira da Silva, in Praça das Amoreiras.
3. Banksy Museum Lisbon
Get ready for an enigmatic journey through the world of street art with the world's most famous anonymous artist, Banksy.
With thousands of urban works of art spread across several cities around the world, Banksy has been the subject of exhibitions, books, documentaries, and even built Dismaland, the dystopian version of Disneyland.
Through 100 reproductions of the works of this mysterious artist, the Banksy Lisbon Museum, at Capsule Gallery Lisbon, brings us a unique vision of political and social issues, almost always shrouded in satire and dark humour.
An immersive experience that promises to challenge perception and inspire deep reflections. Ready to watch? Surprise yourself here!
4. Jardins Abertos (Open Gardens)
“Nature” is the word that best matches spring. And what better way to enjoy it than strolling through Lisbon's gardens, with the Jardins Abertos festival?
During two consecutive weekends (May 18th to 19th and May 25th to 26th), 26 city gardens open their doors for free, inviting you to explore the capital's verdant beauty.
Guided tours, gardening projects, and many other activities promise to surprise the whole family.
The Estufa Fria de Lisboa, the Monsanto Forest Park, the Jardim do Dragão – Macau Scientific and Cultural Center, the Gulbenkian Garden and the Lisbon Museum Gardens – Palácio Pimenta are some of the idyllic settings that are part of this initiative that promotes the connection with nature and sustainability.
