Brief Introduction This ticket gives access to all the museum's exhibitions and spaces, including the MAAT Gallery, MAAT Central and the MAAT Garden. Inaugurated in October 2016 in the context of the cultural patronage policy long championed by Fundação EDP, MAAT - Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology is an international institution dedicated to promoting critical discourse and creative practice in order to bring about new understandings of the historical present and a responsible commitment to the future. Located on the riverfront of the historic zone of Belém, in Lisbon, MAAT comprises a thermal power station built in 1908 - MAAT Central - and a contemporary building - MAAT Gallery - linked by a garden stretching along the River Tagus - MAAT Garden. In addition to its programme of temporary exhibitions and activities (Agenda), the museum also includes permanent exhibitions, such as A Fábrica da Eletricidade (The Electricity Factory) in the Central, or the sculptures in the outdoor spaces. Drawing on the multiple layers of history preserved in its cultural and artistic heritage, MAAT advocates a concept of the museum as a catalysing platform for converting discourse into action and for empowering the public in exercising its power of choice through the articulation of debate, the sharing of positions and the formulation of knowledge. With the aim of encouraging an open and transformative relationship between cultural institutions and social change, the museum simultaneously seeks to question and celebrate the intellectual ambitions and creative means through which we imagine (with art), inhabit (with architecture) and create (with technology) the world we live in - that is, the ways in which we constantly redefine our collective commitment to the planetary ecosystem to which we belong.
