Pavilhão Branco

About

Set within the gardens of Palácio Pimenta, Pavilhão Branco is a striking contemporary art gallery in Lisbon designed by Italian architect Daniela Ermano. Completed in 1995, its neomodern structure features expansive glass façades that blur the boundary between interior and exterior, inviting natural light and garden views into the exhibition space. As one of the city’s five municipal galleries, it plays a key role in promoting visual arts through site-specific installations and long-duration exhibitions. The building’s minimalist design—white surfaces, clean lines, and open-plan layout—encourages curatorial experimentation and spatial dialogue. Located in Campo Grande, it offers a tranquil yet thought-provoking setting for contemporary artistic expression. With free entry and a rotating programme of exhibitions, Pavilhão Branco is a serene cultural destination that merges architectural elegance with Lisbon’s vibrant art scene.
