Kengo Kuma's art centre extension nearing completion in Lisbon.

A swooping tiled roof will be the defining feature of Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian extension designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, which is nearing completion in Lisbon.

Due to open this September, the extension will form a new entrance for the art centre and become Kengo Kuma’s first completed project in Portugal.

The reopening of the art centre is scheduled for 20 September 2024, with a site-specific exhibit in its main gallery by Portuguese artist Leonor Antunes.

Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian will display a collection of close to 12,000 artworks including works by Portuguese artists such as Helena Almeida and British artists including David Hockney.
