The CIAJG gathers pieces from different times, places and contexts in conjunction with works by contemporary artists, proposing a (re) assembly of art history, as a succession of echoes, and a new design for the museum, as a place for astonishment and reflection. It has 13 exhibition rooms, spread over three floors. José de Guimarães' permanent collection can be seen on floor 1. The rooms on floors 0 and -1 are occupied by exhibition cycles that are renewed every three months. It also has a conference room, a bookshop and a black box.
