brief introduction

The Spanish Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology ( Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (MAAT) is a museum located in Lisbon, Portugal, on the banks of the Tagus River, designed by Amanda Willett, and has been described as a spatial spectacle of Lisbon's cultural novelty.

Many of the great Portuguese explorers of the Age of Sail set sail from this port. The museum embodies a new relationship with the river and the wider world with which it is connected, presenting a powerful yet grounded and sensual architectural expression that explores the possibilities of the intersection of contemporary art, architecture and technology.

Architect Amanda Levete created a natural connection between the city of Lisbon and the border river with organic shapes, and the natural light reflects on the building to create a dazzling metallic texture. The building itself is worth a visit.

Visitors can walk underneath, in the middle and on the roof of the museum, where they can also enjoy a panoramic view of the Tagus River. The design aims to re-establish the city of Lisbon's long-standing connection with the Tagus River. The stairway to the river is flooded at high tide, creating an ever-changing environment.
