This exhibition has closed

It closed on 28 August 2026. The page stays because an exhibition history is evidence: where a work was shown, and when, is part of its provenance and this archive cites it.

Visiting Museu Nacional de Belas Artes

Ten works from MNBA's 19th- and 20th-century collection, plus one Roman-era piece, chosen to match episodes of the museum's own podcast and reopening the Sala Bernardelli gallery after renovation.

The Iconotheca Letter

One artwork and its story every Tuesday, with the picture: who owned it, what it made, and what closes soon in the exhibition calendar. No promotion, and nothing we cannot cite.

We send one email to confirm the address and keep nothing else. Every letter carries a one-click unsubscribe. How we handle your data.
