Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art

Cape Town is home to the world’s largest museum of contemporary African art, located inside the historic grain silo next to the V&A Waterfront. Zeitz Museum has only been around since 2017, but that didn’t stop it from growing into one of Cape Town’s leading museums with an impressive contemporary African art collection.

Iziko South African National Gallery

In addition to featuring an impressive collection of African art, Cape Town’s most significant international gallery is best known for housing a collection of European art dating back from the 17th to the 19th century.

Goodman Gallery

Amazing galleries are scattered all across Cape Town, but none of them compares to this one. In addition to having a branch in the South African capital, Goodman Gallery also has locations in Johannesburg and London, and their space is dedicated to celebrating established and emerging artists in southern Africa.

]]> Most art lovers can’t resist checking out popular art museums in each new city they visit, but it’s unfortunate that too many come with expensive entrance fees. However, if you’re on a tight budget, there are many more affordable ways to explore the art scene of a new city.

Street Art

Street art is basically an art gallery you can visit free of charge, and you can find it everywhere you go. Pay extra close attention when walking around the city, and you’ll discover many amazing works by local artists that feel more authentic than anything you’ll find at big museums.

Small Galleries

While roaming around the city you’re visiting, you’ll also notice many tiny galleries scattered all around it. Most of them can be visited free of charge, and you’ll only end up spending money if you decide to buy works by local artists.

Free Museum Visits

Tickets for leading museums can be pretty expensive, but there are ways to save on them. Check if the museum you’re planning to visit offers free visits on certain days. Even if that’s not the case, you can save money by buying a museum card that covers several major museums.

]]> The Portuguese capital city has known a long and rich history. Let’s take a look at some of the most interesting and varied museums in Lisbon that document it.

National Museum of Ancient Art

The colossal National Museum of Ancient Art documents Portugal’s varied art history from the Middle Ages through to the 19th century. Expect to find historical paintings, sculptures, textiles, gold and silverware, ceramics, furniture, and much more.

Museum of the Orient

Established in 2008 as a means of opening a dialogue discussing Portugal’s historic influence on the east, Lisbon’s Museum of the Orient contains artworks dating from the Neolithic period through to the early 20th century.

Berardo Collection Museum

Set up by the businessman and philanthropist José Manuel Rodrigues Berardo, this museum is home to a supremely impressive collection of modern artwork. The collection includes paintings by Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon, and Andy Warhol.

Calouste Gulbenkian Museum

This museum displays the astounding art collection of philanthropist Calouste Gulbenkian.

There are also works by Ruben, Rembrandt, Degas, and a series of illuminated Medieval manuscripts.

Me surpreendi ontem, assim como vem ocorrendo nos últimos 30 dias na Europa, com este quadro no Museu Calouste Gulbenkian em Lisboa. Já o conhecia de livros mas não pensei que daria de cara com ele fisicamente ao entrar distraidamente numa sala. Pintado por Jean-Baptiste André Gautier d'Agoty, vemos uma cena íntima da última favorita de Luís XV, madame du Barry, Jeanne Bécu (1743-1793), em seu quarto, pegando uma xícara de café servida por seu criado Zamor, um menino escravizado aos 11 anos de idade em Bangladesh. Zamor foi dado ou comprado pelo rei da França que o deu de presente à condessa. O pagen foi batizado como Louis Benoit (1762-1820), envolveu-se com as ideias de Rosseau e acabou se tornando um revolucionário francês. Durante a Revolução Francesa, denunciou seguidamente Madame du Barry às autoridades. Da primeira vez, ela foi libertada, mas, da segunda, ela acabou sendo processada e condenada à morte com Zamor participando diretamente do processo. Após a morte de sua senhora, Zamor também acabou sendo preso pelos Girondinos, mas conseguiu se libertar, fugiu de Paris e só retornou em 1815, vivendo na cidade até sua morte como professor. #zamor #caloustegulbenkianmuseum #caloustegoulbenkian #arcolisboa2019 #madamedubarry

Milan is primarily known as a fashion capital but there are a lot of spots to visit if you’re interested in seeing contemporary art.

Fondazione Prada

A large venue opened by the fashion brand founder’s granddaughter in 1993 in a repurposed gin distillery. The entrance sets the tone with a gold-leaf covered wall and the spaces of the former distillery are now filled with some of the world’s most highly regarded artworks.

Gluck50

An independent art organization that has a gallery where artists who use the space show their work. Gluck50 has a great international program that definitely worth checking out when visiting the city.

In mostra fino al 25 gennaio si possono vedere anche tre sculture ispirate alla storia dell'arte e collegate da una serie di binari in miniatura posti a terra. Due di queste hanno forme che rimandano alle volte delle chiese romaniche.

Almach

Appropriately for the Italian capital of design, Almach was opened by an architect and an engineer with a flair for art. The gallery is curated by Luca Temolo Dall’Igna, the architect, and also has professional curators for the video art program.

Chiesa Santa Maria delle Grazie

If you’re interested in something more traditional and popular, you might want to go look for Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘The Last Supper’, perhaps the most famous image in the Western canon, and a UNESCO World Heritage.
