Best places: Art museums in Oliveira do Bairro, Portugal

Museum built on Roman tunnels, displaying Gothic sculptures, religious art & 11th-century cloister.

👍👍 Great museum, friendly staff and well made exhibition. Highly recommend. I learned new things and liked how they show what the modern world has inherited from a people from 2000 years ago. I also liked the exhibits you can touch and try out.

A spiral staircase climbs the inside of this 76m-high baroque bell tower, offering city-wide views.

👍 Museum is full of interesting contemporary art works, especially room with industrial sounds. However, considering small scale of works, ticket price seemed overpriced to me (20 Euros). There is nice park in the museum and make sure to buy ticket that includes it also, because there is really cool...

👍👍 A place to visit whenever possible. The friendliness of the employees with vast knowledge of the artists on display and the museum building further contributed to a 5-star visit

👍👍 Anthological exhibition by Avelino Rocha: ceramics, stained glass, sculpture and painting. An artist, a life. Heterogeneity and the excellence of art, a rare species. A walk through the remarkable places of Avelino and his work, in video and photography: masterful. The poetic nostalgia for colors a...

👍👍 Very interesting the tour that I did and with a lot of information about the centenary camellias. I was not aware of the great variety.

👍👍 Partially closed due to restoration. Excellent artifacts from Roman and 15th century times. Lovely staff, speak English fluently.

👍👍 It was a very interesting experience. It was informative because it gives context to the apparition of Our Lady. It was a very nice visit indeed!

👍 Um espaço surpreendente com uma coleção interessante.

👍 Cost (April 2022): 3 euro Really beautiful church, well-worth visiting. A very small part of the museum is dedicated to archaeology (most signage is in Portuguese), with most of the museum covering religious art. There is also a tower with a great view of the surrounding neighborhood. We read mo...

👍👍 Museum of the Order of St. Francis here there is a grave silence, such respect for the dead, underground there are catacombs where centuries ago were buried the most prominent figures linked to the Catholic religion and not only is a place of worship that It makes us go back in time. The snag! The...
