Platform for Arts and Creativity

TIME : 2016/2/18 23:38:32

For the 2012 European Capital of Culture, the old market square was revamped into a multi-purpose cultural centre inside a shimmering three-floor metallic building that looks like a bunch of stacked-up boxes. Inside is a permanent exhibit by Portuguese painter José de Guimarães, with items from his private collection of pre-Colombian, African and Chinese art. Check out the room called Spells, with an impressive display of African masks.
