A lovely little gallery well worth an hour to visit. It's offers a great insight into Portuguese art at the turn of the 20th century, particularly Naturalism, the work of Malhoa and his contemporaries.
Also take time to wonder around the surrounding park which is dotted with sculptures.
Decent collection of local art 20th century
A wonderful collection of Portuguese naturalistic painting from the late IXth to the early XXth century centered around the work of painter José Malhoa and his contemporary painters and friends. Complemented by a nice collection of sculpture and the full ceramics sculptures representing the passion of Christ by Bordalo Pinheiro. The museum space is nice, with a well organized exhibition. To top it up, it is located in the middle of the lovely D. Carlos I park. Unfortunately the building is in urgent need of renovation for water damage and infiltrations. Adult tickets 2€ including discount admittance to the nearby ceramics museum. Definitely worth the visit.
A great museum to further your knowledge and understanding of Portuguese art. Some really excellent works of art.
The building is located in a beautiful park called Park D. Carlos I in Caldas da Rainha. It presents the largest nucleus of works by the painter José Malhoa and an important collection of paintings and sculptures from the 19th and 20th centuries. The staff are really friendly. Opening hours from 10am to 12:30am and 2pm to 6pm. Entrance is 3,00 €, 50% discount for students, youth cardholders and senior visitors. Free on Sundays before 14 for residents in Portugal.
It is a great place to meet the 19th and early 20th century art. I really enjoy take photos in this museum.
A lovely collection of paintings and statues. The paintings by José Malhoa of Dona Leonor and Laura Sauvinet are masterpieces. Well worth a visit!
Great place, nice paintings and sculptures. It was nice and cold when I was there, I believe it will be awesome to go there during hot days!
