LAAF 2025
LAAF - Lisbon Art and Antiques Fair 2025

9 - 17th May 2025

Cordoaria Nacional, Lisbon

Welcome to LAAF 2025, a space where the past and present come together to celebrate timeless art and beauty. At this event, we invite enthusiasts of all ages and tastes to embark on a journey through different eras and styles, where each piece is a unique narrative of the past and a living expression of the present.

Visiting the Fair is like turning the pages of a book, where antique objects reveal secrets and tell long-forgotten stories. Each piece on display carries with it a unique heritage from past generations and evokes a sense of nostalgia and admiration.

However, it is not only antiques that shine at this Fair. Visitors also have the pleasure of discovering a wide range of modern and contemporary artworks. From painting to sculpture, ceramics to design, each work reflects shades of the modern world and offers a unique perspective on today’s society and culture.

In addition to the exhibitions, LAAF offers a rich and varied experience, with engaging talks featuring esteemed figures from the worlds of culture, science, and politics. It is a vibrant and inspiring environment, where knowledge is shared and passions are celebrated. We are also delighted to present the museums and publishing houses partnering in this 22nd edition: MUDE (Museum of Design, Lisbon) and the National Museum of Ethnology; Pórtico, A Magazine, and Urucum.

LAAF is held under the High Patronage of the President of the Portuguese Republic and benefits from the invaluable support of the Portuguese Navy. We would also like to highlight the crucial contribution of Lisbon City Council, essential to making this edition of LAAF possible.
