MUDE Santa Maria Maior · Lisbon

In 2026, MUDE presents the most extensive exhibition ever dedicated to Paulo de Cantos, featuring 31 of the 45 books self-published by the teacher and editor who developed a singular graphic output, marked by pedagogical experimentalism, between 1917 and 1969.

Full details

Synopsis Due to maintenance work in the museum space, online sales are suspended from 7 July 2026 to 19 July 2026. However, tickets can be purchased at the on-site box office. In a context marked by the expansion of Artificial Intelligence and the growing dematerialisation of objects, it becomes particularly relevant to revisit, from a design perspective, the experimental and manual dimension of the work of Paulo de Cantos (1892, 1979), a teacher and editor who, between 1917 and 1969, developed a singular graphic output, marked by pedagogical experimentalism and in dialogue with modernism. It is in this context that MUDE programmed and presents, in 2026, an exhibition dedicated to a complex author still insufficiently recognised by design historiography. This reaffirms the Museum’s commitment to researching and disseminating practices that stimulate critical reflection. The value of Cantos’s work has already been reflected in the inclusion of his pieces in the Museum’s long-term exhibition and in the creation, in 2025, of the Paulo de Cantos Collection. This author’s work found in the book the privileged support of a practice oriented towards overcoming physical and conceptual limits. It also materialised in manuals, postcards and editorial objects that explore typographic language, the geometry of forms and humour. Particularly noteworthy are the so-called “two-faced” books, where the linearity of reading is replaced by playful, circular paths in which the end often becomes a new beginning. With curators and graphic design by António Silveira Gomes and Cláudia Castelo, and exhibition design by José Albergaria, this is the most extensive exhibition dedicated to the author, featuring 31 of the 45 books self-published by Cantos, including those belonging to the MUDE collection. The result of a research process begun in the late 1990s, the curators note: “On the margins of history, Cantos was an outsider with an unusual body of work that conveyed some of the ideas of the Politics of the Spirit and of the Estado Novo’s luso-tropicalism with doses of humour and nonchalance that did not belong to the canon. The book was his form of expression, whose physical and conceptual limits he sought to transcend throughout his life.” Opening Hours Summer hours: (April to September) Tuesday to Thursday: 10h - 19h Friday and Saturday: 10h - 21h Sunday: 10h-19h Winter hours: (October to March) Tuesday to Thursday: 10h-18h Friday and Saturday: 10h-20h Sunday: 10h-18h The museum is closed on Mondays, 25 December and 1 January. On 24 and 31 December, the museum closes at 16h. Last entry at 15h30. Prices DISCOUNTS Young students (13-25 years old), seniors

Sinopse Por motivos de manutenção do espaço museológico, as vendas online estão suspensas de 07 de Julho de 2026 a 19 de Julho de 2026. Porém os bilhetes poderão ser adquiridos na bilheteria local Num contexto marcado pela expansão da Inteligência Artificial e pela crescente desmaterialização dos objetos, torna-se particularmente relevante revisitar, na perspetiva do design, a dimensão experimental e manual da obra de Paulo de Cantos (1892, 1979), professor e editor que, entre 1917 e 1969, desenvolveu uma produção gráfica singular, marcada pelo experimentalismo pedagógico e em diálogo com o modernismo. É neste enquadramento que o MUDE programou e apresenta, em 2026, uma exposição dedicada a um autor complexo e ainda insuficientemente reconhecido pela historiografia do design. Assim se reafirma o compromisso do Museu com a investigação e a divulgação de práticas que estimulam a reflexão crítica. O valor da obra de Cantos traduziu-se já na integração de trabalhos seus na exposição de longa duração do Museu e na constituição, em 2025, da Coleção Paulo de Cantos. O trabalho deste autor encontrou no livro o suporte privilegiado de uma prática orientada para a superação de limites físicos e conceptuais. Materializou-se, também, em manuais, postais e objetos editoriais que exploram a linguagem tipográfica, a geometria das formas e o humor. Destacam-se os chamados livros «bi-rostos», onde a linearidade da leitura é substituída por percursos lúdicos e circulares, em que o fim se converte frequentemente num novo começo. Com curadoria e design gráfico de António Silveira Gomes e de Cláudia Castelo, e design expositivo de José Albergaria, esta é a mais extensa exposição dedicada ao autor, contemplando 31 dos 45 livros auto-editados por Cantos, designadamente os que pertencem ao acervo do MUDE. Resultado de um processo de investigação iniciado no final da década de 1990, os curadores consideram: «Nas margens da história, Cantos foi um outsider com uma obra insólita que veiculava algumas das ideias da Política do Espírito e do luso-tropicalismo do Estado Novo com doses de humor e displicência que não pertenciam ao cânone. O livro foi a sua forma de expressão, cujos limites físicos e conceptuais procurou transcender ao longo da vida.» Horário de Funcionamento Horário de verão: (abril a setembro) 3ª a 5ª feira: 10h - 19h 6ª e sábado: 10h - 21h Domingo: 10h-19h Horário de inverno: (outubro a março) 3ª a 5ª feira: 10h-18h 6ª e sábado: 10h-20h Domingo: 10h-18h O museu está fechado segundas-feiras, 25 de dezembro e 1 de janeiro.
