Quadrum Gallery – Municipal Galleries

Quadrum Gallery is part of the ground floor in the south wing of the Coruchéus complex, initially designed to serve as a restaurant and bar to support the 50 municipal studios on the upper floors. The functional adaptation to gallery took place in 1973, born from the will of artist and collector Dulce D’Agro, who transformed it into a place for the promotion of the most diverse experimentalisms, especially between 25 April 1974 and the beginning of the 1980s. The gallery hosted essential names, such as Ana Hatherly, José Conduto, João Vieira, Gina Pane, Ulrike Rosenbach, E. M. de Melo e Castro and Salette Tavares, Ana Vieira, Alberto Carneiro, José Barrias and Irene Buarque, Noronha da Costa, Álvaro Lapa, António Sena, Pires Vieira, Jorge Pinheiro or ngelo de Sousa. Since 2010, Quadrum has been managed and programmed by the Municipal Galleries.
