The Berardo Collection Museum, also known as the Museu Coleção Berardo, is a museum of modern and contemporary art in Lisbon, in the Belém district. It sits on the Praça do Império, the grand square in front of the Jerónimos Monastery, so it is an easy stop for anyone already exploring this part of the city.
The museum shows works from the 20th and 21st centuries. Its collection includes pieces by Picasso, Warhol and Pollock, and the displays are drawn from one of Europe's notable private art collections. Because exhibitions rotate, what you see on one visit may differ from the next, so it is worth checking what is on before you go.
