The Albuquerque Foundation, located in Sintra, Portugal, is a cultural institution dedicated to the study and presentation of Chinese export porcelain and contemporary ceramics. The space houses the Albuquerque Collection of Chinese Ceramics, one of the largest private collections in the world, assembled over 60 years by the Brazilian collector Renato de Albuquerque.
Housed in a historic farmhouse renovated by Bernardes Arquitetura, the foundation also organizes temporary exhibitions of contemporary ceramics and residencies for artists, academics and curators, promoting artistic and cultural reflection.
With a garden, library, store, restaurant and residency spaces, the Albuquerque Foundation aims to be a cultural and civic destination where you can learn, be inspired and enjoy.
