Nacional Museum of Art, Lisboa, Portugal

Nacional Museum of Art


The Nacional Museum of Art is the most important art museum hosting art from the 12th to the 19th centuries in Portugal, with the most important public collection of ancient art in the country. Its collections - about 40000 works - include European painting, sculpture, drawing and decorative arts, as well as collections of Asian art (India, China, Japan) and African (Afro-Portuguese) marbles representing the relationships established between Europe and the East following the voyages of discovery - begun in the fifteenth century, and Portugal was a pioneer nation.
The museum is located in a late 17th century palace, built by D. Francisco de Tavora, the first Count of Alvor. The palace is known as the Palace of Alvor-Pombal, because in 1759, after the Távoras Process, the building was bought at auction by Paulo de Carvalho and Mendonça, the brother of Marquês de Pombal, who, on the death of the former, became the owner of the palace. In 1879 the palace was rented and later acquired by the Portuguese state to install the National Museum of Fine Arts and Archeology, officially inaugurated on May 11, 1884.
