This museum exhibts the EDP Foundation Art Collection.
The EDP Foundation Art Collection originated in 2000, in order to showcase several generations of contemporary Portuguese artists, as well as various fields and disciplines of artistic creation.
The chronological reference established as the collection’s starting point was the 1960s, an era that marked a period of artistic unrest and which is also symbolic due to the EDP Group’s predecessor, the Companhia Portuguesa de Electricidade (Portuguese Power Company), being founded then.
The selection of works gave precedence to pieces by artists whose relevance in the national and international contemporary art scene makes them essential; the inclusion of works by artists selected from the EDP Foundation’s exhibitive programming; and the incorporation of recognised artists rewarded or selected for awards attributed by the EDP Foundation.
