Maat, The Art Museum, Architecture and Technology (maat) It is an international institution

Inaugurated in October 2016 in the context of the cultural patronage policy has long assumed by the EDP Foundation, The Art Museum, Architecture and Technology (maat) It is an international institution that is dedicated to promoting critical discourse and creative practice in order to raise new understandings about the historical present and a responsible commitment to the common future.

Situated in the riverside front of the historic zone of Belém, in Lisbon, The EDP Foundation Campus covers an area of 38.000 Square meters that encompasses a reconverted thermoelectric plant - the Tagus Center, emblematic building of industrial architecture built in 1908 - And a new building designed by the London Architecture Studio Al_A (Amanda Levete Architects). Both buildings welcome exhibitions and events scheduled by the museum and are linked by a garden designed by Lebanian landscape architect Vladimir Djurovic.

Starting from the multiple layers of history preserved in its cultural and artistic heritage, Maat advocates a museum concept as a catalyst platform for discourse conversion into action and public autonomization in the exercise of its power of choice through the articulation of the debate, sharing positions and knowledge formulation. In order to encourage an open and transformative relationship between cultural institutions and social mutation, The museum simultaneously seeks to interrogate and celebrate intellectual ambitions and creative means through which we imagine (with art), we inhabit (with architecture) And we created (with technology) The world we live in - this is, The ways as we constantly redefine our collective commitment to the planetary ecosystem to which we belong.
