MUDE - Museu do Design e da Moda, Lisboa, Portugal


Portugal The MUDE enriches the domestic museum scene. More than any other museum, it is responsible for modernizing the business community through its constant connection with industries and companies sponsoring and presenting products at the museum. The museum also has an important educational mission, which is carried out through research, rotation of the collection, sound editorial policy and a consistent programme with conferences, courses, workshops, labs, international gatherings, guided tours and educational publications.


	International The link between fashion design and product design – together with the excellence of the collection and the museum’s concept – singles out the MUDE internationally among museums dedicated to fashion or having specific fashion collections (the Musée Galliera/Musée de la Mode and the Musée de la Mode et du Textile in Paris, the Museo del Traje in Madrid, the MoMu in Antwerp, the Museum at FIT in New York) and among design museums (the DesignMuseum in London, the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, and the Museo de Design da Triennale di Milano in Milan). The MUDE proactively promotes Lisbon as a cultural tourism destination, reinforcing its status as a new design capital on par with Antwerp, Glasgow, Montreal, Saint-Etienne, Stockholm and New York/Times Square.
