    Quiet place with magnificent religious paintings by Vasco. Especially the one with St. Peter. The only thing I missed –postcards in museum shop.

    They only let Portuguese for free on Sundays until 13:00. Are we all in the EU or Portugal goes by itself?! Very unfriendly reception.

    The experience was marvelous. The staff was very polite, kind and considerate. They're willing to help out all the time, from when you buy tickets to when you actually go through the museum.

    Vasco Fernandes (1475 — 1542) was a Portuguese painter, one of the most famous Portuguese painters of the Renaissance. He is widely known by the nickname Grão Vasco. The museum contains his main works. The museum has 2 floors, in addition to the works of Grao Vasco, you can see a lot of interesting things. I recommend.

    A beautiful museum with a lot of interesting ancient and more modern works. The works by grao Vasco are very unusual since he paints in 'flemish' style including the buildings and features of people. His depictions of facial expressions are very notable because the people who are upset actually look upset (rather than, say, merely miffed about Jesus dying). The staff really want to make sure you visit in one particular flow which I don't understand but it didn't hinder the experience. Take some extra time to see the temporary exposition of 'views' where many are of old Portugal.
