Galeria São Mamede

Galeria São Mamede is a Portuguese gallery dedicated exclusively to modernism and contemporary Portuguese art, featuring both established classics like Areal and Cesariny alongside emerging artists. Founded in the late 1960s near Largo do Rato in Lisbon, it expanded its operations to Porto in 2005 and opened a new exhibition space adjacent to its original location in 2018.

• History: Established in the late 1960s within a Pombaline building opposite the Procuradoria Geral da República, the gallery has maintained an intense artistic activity focused on Portuguese movements with occasional foreign exhibitions.
• Locations: The organization operates from its historic site at Rua da Escola Politécnica and a newer facility at Rua Maestro Pedro Freitas Branco in Lisbon, plus an expansion in Porto since 2005.
• Operations: It holds public viewings Monday through Saturday between 11:00 and 20:00 or 19:00, with Sunday hours running from 11:00 to 19:00.

The gallery continues to serve as a vital platform for the evolution of Portuguese visual culture through its curated exhibitions and physical spaces.
