Why this matters

The story is significant because it addresses ongoing debates surrounding the management and acquisition of art collections by public institutions in Portugal, particularly concerning the MAC/CCB. The "Colecção Ellipse" has been a subject of public scrutiny regarding its acquisition process and value, leading to "narratives" that the Minister now laments. This new funding aims to strengthen the MAC/CCB's institutional mission and capacity to acquire its own works, potentially as a response to past controversies and to ensure the long-term viability of its contemporary art collection.
