Inside, we can see Portuguese paintings from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. The most important works though belong to Grão Vasco and painters of his generation.
Among the works of Grão Vasco, the altarpieces stand out: "The Pentecost", "The Supper", "S. Peter" and "Annunciation ". Also important are the Mannerist and Naturalistic paintings by Portuguese painters, such as Silva Porto, José Malhoa and Columbano Bordalo Pinheiro.
The collection also includes watercolors, sculptures, furniture, tapestry and pottery, exhibited in the various rooms of this museum.

I found this visit interesting and useful, because at school, in History, when learning about the Renaissance Art, our teacher mentioned the name of Grão Vasco and some of his paintings on display at the Museum.
