Description of the Museum

This is the largest part of the collection, currently numbering 7,271 inventoried pieces that form the natural core of the Museum.
The collection initially came from the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, where some pieces were exhibited in the ceramics section.
In the early 1960s, this collection was moved to the Convent of Madre de Deus under the supervision of João Miguel dos Santos Simões and works from other museums and state institutions were added.
Since then, the collection has continued to expand through acquisitions and donations from individuals and institutions alike.
