Museum of Popular Art

The Museum of Folk Art occupies a building originally built as a pavilion for the 1940 world exhibition. It is a one-story, modernist building decorated with stonework finishes and reliefs. His collection includes painting, sculpture and folk crafts.

The museum collects examples of folk art from around the country. You can see paintings and sculptures, as well as ceramics, jewelry, wood and metal products, woven baskets and fabrics. This gives a picture of traditional Portuguese crafts from various parts of the country. The museum also organizes temporary exhibitions as well as workshops and meetings with artists.
