The brand new Museum now sits within a building that has replaced the original. Located in Lisbon's Baixa Pombalina and Alfama neighborhood, the Santo Antonio Museum boasts [new cutting edge exhibition walls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gallery-of-the-kings-at-the-museo-egizio) that see the display sit flesh with the wall that surrounds it. The gorgeous new panels are incredibly well-lit and complement the updated font and graphics that make up the museum's new visual identity. The exterior of the newly updated museum is characterized by a large [perforated steel facade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/helsinki-design-and-architecture-museum) that plays up the building's geometrical design elements. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Cutting Edge Exhibition Walls:** Opportunity for innovation in museum interior design to create immersive and interactive experiences for visitors - **Updated Visual Identity:** Opportunity for rebranding and modernizing existing museums and galleries to attract new audiences - **Perforated Steel Facade:** Opportunity for innovative and sustainable building materials in architectural designs for museums and other public buildings ### Who This Affects Most - **Museums and Galleries:** Opportunities for modernization and innovation in interior design, branding, and architecture of museums and galleries to stay competitive in the industry - **Construction Materials:** Opportunities for sustainable and innovative materials in developing architectural designs for museums and other public buildings - **Tourism and Hospitality:** Opportunities to tap into potential tourism markets by creating unique and visually appealing cultural attractions through innovative museum designs ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometric Three-Story Museum Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lvaro-siza-wing.md) - [Environmentally Harmonious Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naoshima-new-museum-of-art.md) - [Positive Sensual Miami Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museum-of-sex-1.md) - [Brutalist Museum Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cantabrian-maritime-museum.md) - [Architecturally Intricate Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-for-architecture.md) - [Color-Blocked Contemporary Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mkg.md) - [Jagget Metal Museum Entrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baroque-museum-of-catalonia.md) - [Renovated Spanish Exhibition Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-batll-contemporary.md) - [17th-Century Converted Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/locke-de-santa-joana.md)
