The Gallery of Contemporary Art in Belem Lisbon,Portugal
The Berardo Museum has one of the world's most acclaimed modern art collections, with works by Warhol, Picasso, Dali, Duchamp, Magritte, Miró, Bacon, Jackson Pollock, Jeff Koons, among others representing dozens of modern movements. It was amassed by Portuguese magnate Joe Berardo, who for many years had wanted to create a museum for his vast collection. Cities like Paris and Miami were interested in buying it, but the Portuguese government made sure it was kept in Lisbon and agreed to provide space inside Lisbon's Belem Cultural Center. It opened in June of 2007, with 863 of Berardo's estimated 4,000 artworks (part of the collection has also been on display in Sintra's Modern Art Museum).
