MAAT is probably one of the first things you will spot in Lisbon, even before you land. It's so recognizable that you notice it from the plane. For me, it's one of the most beautiful parts of Lisbon's modern architecture. So even if you are not a fan of exhibitions and museums in general, you can just take a stroll by the river and admire it. If you are a fan of modern art, then it's a must-visit.
MAAT has a permanent exhibition called The Electricity Factory, dedicated to telling the story of the evolution of electricity housed in a former power plant, which is a unique piece of industrial architecture. It also hosts impressive changing exhibitions of local or foreign artists (including photos, paintings, sculptures, and digital art). They change the exhibitions quite often, and they also provide special guided tours. They also have a cafe where you can enjoy a lunch or drink after the stroll or your visit to the exhibition.
