Discover Medeiros e Almeida, a collector's mansion hiding in plain sight. Wander richly decorated rooms filled with clocks, silverware, paintings and porcelain from around the world.
Full description
The Medeiros e Almeida museum occupies an elegant mansion that once belonged to a collector and patron of the arts, and displays his holdings of watches, clocks, jewellery, silverware, European paintings, furniture and Chinese porcelain. Reviewers call it a hidden gem, praise the richness of the interiors and the friendly staff, and note the low admission and a colourful museum shop.
The villa setting gives the collection a lived-in, domestic feel that larger museums lack. It closes at 5:00 PM, so it is best slotted into a morning or early afternoon.
