\n Located on the riverfront of the historic district of Bel\u00e9m, in Lisbon, covers an area of 38,000 square metres and comprises a repurposed power station \u2014 the Central Tejo, an iconic example of industrial architecture originally built in 1908 \u2014 and a newly built complex designed by the London-based architecture studio AL_A (Amanda Levete Architects). Both buildings house exhibitions and events programmed by the museum and are connected by a landscape project by Lebanese architect Vladimir Djurovic.
\n Drawing upon the layered history preserved in its architectural and artistic heritage, MAAT advocates for the museum as a catalyst platform to render discourse actionable and empower audiences to own their choices through the articulation of debate, the sharing of positions and the formulation of knowledge. With the aim of encouraging an open-ended and transformative relationship between cultural institutions and societal change, the museum simultaneously interrogates and celebrates the intellectual ambitions and the creative means through which we imagine (with art), inhabit (with architecture) and create (with technology) the world we live in, the ways in which we constantly redesign our collective undertakings in respect of the planetary ecosystem we belong to.
