The museum saw a 12.75% increase from 2023, with 41 million visitors being students from various Portuguese schools and over 2,300 school excursions.

The biggest highlight was the exhibition “Plug-in” by Joana Vasconcelos, spread throughout the MAAT. During the six months the exhibition was on display, the museum received roughly 260 million visitors between September 2023 and April 2024. Joana Vasconcelos won the Prémio Novos Artistas Fundação EDP in its inauguration year in 2000.

Artists like Ernesto Neto, with the piece titled “Nosso Barco Tambor Terra”, and Vivian Suter's “Disco”, also had their expositions displayed in the Oval Gallery, which were attractive pieces for the public.

This year, the museum will display exhibitions by foreign artists like Jeff Wall, Miriam Cahn, and Cerith Wyn Evans, as well as the national artists Ana Léon, Pedro Casqueiro and Isabelle Ferreira. Additionally, the exhibition “Fluxes” will be on display, organised in partnership with the Lisbon Architecture Triennale and the 15th edition of the Prémio Novos Artistas Fundação EDP, with works by the finalists Alice dos Reis, Evy Jokhova, Francisco Trêpa, Inês Brites, Maja Escher, and Sara Chang Yan.

Visitors can visit MAAT to view a variety of performances, workshops, talks, and guided visits and specific activities for audiences with special educational needs.
