Very interesting little museum with beautiful tapestries and set in a very well designed building. It’s a triumph of architecture- perfect blending of modernity in older buildings. Watch the little video It's beautiful and it was incredibly cheap (probably it's subsidized). For someone like me, it was impossible not to notice the similarities about the manual process used to make these carpets and the scanline algorithm used in computer graphics, including the anti-aliasing! Now imagine people doing this by hand, filing pixels with 1 square mm, with carpets with several meters long... mind-blowing! The price of these carpets is enormous, taking into account the number of hours of human labour involved, and I'm not counting with the artist or painters royalties if applied. Using modern technology this could be easily industrialised, making the price cheaper, of course. Interesting. What a wonderful and unique experience! And affordable to all. I'm so glad we went here. Well worth a visit if you're in the area. Absolutely fascinating with stunning examples of this incredible tapestry work. So worth a visit. Allow up to an hour. Beautiful museum with a very fine collection. It includes master pieces from Almada Negreiros, Júlio Pomar and José Régio, among others. Worth the détour! Stunning tapestries... best in the world! Count on an hour, to really be able to absorb the process and the quality of the work. Love the modern art interpretations! Superb collection of Portuguese Tapestry, Portalegre style. We were fortunate enough to see 8 Almada Negreiros in the temporary expo space. WOW!!! Our new favourite museum/gallery in Portugal.
