Built
in
the
18c
as
a
factory
of
ropes
for
nautical
purposes
(hence
location
and
lenght
of
building)
in
pombaline
style,
the
front
part
of
the
complex
became
a
cultural
venue
on
the
late
1990s.
Its
industrial
past
is
still
noticeable,
with
leftover
rails
and
floor
irregularity,
scale
of
windows
and
doors
and
height
of
ceiling.
The
Coordoaria
exhibition
space
is
a
long
narrow
high
ceiling
unobstructed
space
that
allows
to
accomodate
a
big
range
of
temporary
exhibitions.
Its
location
close
to
the
river,
nearby
Lisbon's
Conference
Center,
Casa
America
Latina
and
Fábrica
da
Electricidade/MAAT,
is
quite
convenient.
Entrance
is
done
at
the
center
of
the
building,
on
the
south
facing
facade
(facing
the
river).
The
single
floor
single
room
space
doesn't
offer
much
more
other
than
toilets
and
exhibition
area
(it
is
accessible
to
wheelchair
though).
For
eateries
or
other
facilities
one
must
look
elsewhere.
Content
is
really
dependent
on
the
exhibition/event
it
is
showing
and
personal
preference.
Exhibitions
are
usually
paid.
Ticket
office
is
outside,
near
the
entrace.
Please
note
the
eastern
tip
of
the
building
is
a
separate
exhibition
space
under
municipal
curatorial
management,
separate
entrances
and
ticketing.
