The Museum of Popular Art, in Lisbon, reopened to the public in May 2010 for the celebrations of the Centenary of Republic. The Popular Art Museum closed a few years ago for it’s building to be transformed into a new museum devoted to Portuguese language and culture. Popular petition convinced the government to bring the old museum back. The museum is dedicated to the traditional arts and crafts of Portugal, originally displayed by regions. Its original home, set in a building between the Discoveries Monument and Belem Tower, will be renovated to once again welcome the collection.
