The first great work in Europe by one of the most acclaimed contemporary architects, the Brazilian Paulo Mendes de Rocha, Golden Lion by the Venice Biennale 2016 and the Pritzker Prize in 2006. It is in Lisbon, in one of the best known and symbolic areas of the city, the district of Belem, that the National Coach Museum is located. Built on the famous site where the Portuguese set sail to travel overseas, the Museum promises to stimulate thought on the relationship between the great city and its buildings, Europe and America, and the very idea of being modern.
