ANTÓNIO MEGA FERREIRA LIBRARY

Parque das Nações

The António Mega Ferreira Library, located at the Pavilion of Portugal, will be the next local cultural facility to open its doors to the city.

It will house the personal library of António Mega Ferreira. This was made possible by a memorandum of understanding signed on 22 May 2023 by his heirs, Lisbon City Council, the Parque das Nações Parish Council, and the University of Lisbon.

As it is a heritage collection, access will be limited to the library. This will allow anyone interested to learn more about António Mega Ferreira, who is widely regarded as one of the most important Portuguese intellectuals of recent decades. A leading figure in his field, he was committed to individual freedom and the social and cultural education of the people.

In collaboration with the Expo 98 Interpretation Center, managed by the Parque das Nações Parish Council, the library will display many of the works published during EXPO 98 alongside its own collection. The Interpretation Center will also be located in the Pavilion of Portugal.

This space, which will be open 24 hours a day, is intended for reading, studying and working. Cultural events will be hosted in conjunction with the Rectorate of the University of Lisbon and the Expo 98 Interpretation Center.
