MENU DAS ARTES
WHY INVEST IN ART
We make it possible for investors to enter the universe of the arts, through the construction, management and negotiation of the collection of works of plastic arts. In addition to making a contribution to society in general, being part of the Menu das Artes is an intelligent way to diversify investments.
We serve two categories of art investors: standard and gold. At standard, we work with initial values between 2,000.00 and 10,000.00 euros; while at Gold (which enables the acquisition of the Gold Visa in Portugal), the values and requirements are diverse.
