Our wonderful day discovering art !
The weather was good which allowed us to fully enjoy our day. We got the opportunity to share this adventure with the students of a French school of Terrasson (Dordogne) that we met up with at the German School of Lisboa. We then took the subway together heading to our first visit.

We started by visiting the Bansky museum. Banksy is a street artist known for remaining anonymous.
Through his work, he often criticizes society, politics, capitalism and inequalities.
His motivations are based on making people think, provoking reactions, and making art accessible to everyone outside of traditional places.
Therefore, this museum is dedicated to his art. We were lucky to have a english-speaking tour guide to lead us through the art pieces such as graffitis, sculptures and incorporating objects in his art. A great exemple would be his representation of domestic violence where he uses a fridge.

Around noon we had lunch with the other students in the garden of The Foundation Calouste Gulbekion. At this occasion we saw ducks and pigeons.
We then proceeded to our second visit of the day. We went to the Modern Art museum Gulbekian, a museum that specializes in modern arts. We got to see an amazing art gallery that was inspired by the arabian nights. Each art piece tells multiple stories.

Finally, we got some time for ourselves and decided to spend that time with the students from the other school.
