Since 25 June of 2007 the city of Lisbon counts with a new and very important museum. I´m talking about “Museu Colecção Berardo de Arte Moderna Contemporânea”- installed in the Centre of Expositions of Cultural Centre of Belém.
In this space all the public, Portuguese or not, can enjoy the big names of the international art from centuries XX to XXI.
The initial draft of the Berardo Collection was to install in the Exhibition Center of the Centre Cultural of Belém, a permanent museum collection based on that collection.
The main objectives of this collection, I find the second, were to constitute an international contemporary museum, contributing to the affirmation of Lisbon as a destination for cultural tourism, to inform the general public in the development of art, based on an exhibition didactics and dynamic, enable the development of a broad program of cultural and educational animation, done by an Educational Services in conjunction with the creators, critics and teachers of various levels of education
Deepening the dialogue with other collections and spoils, expanding the scope of the collection, are also targets presented in the "construction" of this museum, as well as enabling the exchange of exhibitions and other works with other institutions and thus to discover different styles of art modern and also the circulation of works of the Collection.
The Berardo Collection is recognized internationally as a collection of art of great significance that can follow the main artistic movements of sec. XX. Representing more than 70 artistic currents and showing a strong and educational museum. This presents itself as a source of creativity and opportunities for innovation, not only by the richness of content, but also by constant acquisition of new works, allowing different readings of contemporary art.
After the visit to the Berardo Collection Museum, I could understand what really moves a collector. This is not just a curiosity, but what is collected, the passion for the subject itself. In a way, the collector demand and meets the work that others would also like to find and gather. The collector becomes reality, in fact, the dreams of others. The relationship between the individual's dream and the dream of the other traces the fate of the collection and to ensure its place in the community. In my view this collection expressed an exercise in open-minded, why is so peculiar and captivated me so much.
