A Cerca

Reviewed By mrmadeirense - Lisbon, Portugal

Beautiful place with a nice cafe, museum, garden and a stunning view to Lisbon city, In my personal view you could pass an entire day just relaxing and reading a book in this place it would be more interesting than spending money to to near "Cristo Rei" - National Shrine of Christ the King

Quetzal Art Center

Quetzal Art Center, a contemporary art exhibition space of 450 m², is situated in a historically rich region in rural and scenic Alentejo (Portugal), far away from the metropolitan art hubs. From its inception, Quetzal focuses on the development of a contemporary art programme that is to appeal to both a specialist audience and a broader, curious public. It is driven by a desire to test art’s purpose outside the traditional institutional and commercial struc­tures. Quetzal Art Center presents exhibitions with works by both established and emerging international artists, with an emphasis on finding connections between artis­tic generations, and stimulating curatorial experiment. Serving as the foundation of Quetzal’s artistic activities is the private art Collection de Bruin-Heijn. The founders of Quinta do Quetzal are the Dutch couple Cees and Inge de Bruin. They have been collectors of contemporary art and patrons of culture for more than four decades.
