African Arte Lisboa is a Lisbon gallery that the lovers of African art and culture should visit.

Presenting African art and spreading its cultural wealth are the gallery’s missions. Dedicated and openly passionate about their work, the gallery owners speak about African art with affection, and tell us many different stories regarding a wide range of pieces.

In this gallery in Lisbon, among the authentic African art, you will also find ethnographic pieces from distinct countries on the African continent, such as Mozambique, Mali, Angola, Ivory Coast, and Nigeria. The gallery’s value is immense, and each visit is a genuine trip to the African continent, its origins, and to the best of what it presents.

The educational component is truly reinforced, and at African Arte Lisboa it’s possible to get to know each piece in-depth. Before being selected for the exhibition, each piece is subject to an exhaustive, and very complete investigation, that allows us to know, not only its origin, but also the context in which it was created, its history, and its purpose. This is the only way to create an engaging environment that makes us discover the culture that surrounds us.

The pieces’ exhibition was designed to be accessible to everyone, especially to the visitors with reduced mobility, who can easily circulate and see the exhibits, in contrast to what happens in other museums and galleries. Here, everyone is (and feels!) welcome.

Furthermore, African Arte Lisboa is a place where you can buy authentic and exclusive pieces. It’s true, some exhibited pieces can be purchased, and those who value the ancient art know that there are few things as special as having an exclusive piece at home!

Cool Tip: Don’t let your tour end here, and take advantage of the proximity to visit the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation’s garden. After such an immersive visit, there is nothing like relishing this oasis of tranquillity, and relax!
