I didn't know this until I went but this is meant to be one of the most important art museums in Europe, documenting development of painting on the continent. Set in fabulous buildings of the palace of the count of alvor, the convent of santo alberto and the chapel too, you can also enjoy these. The paintings and the rest of the collection including sculptures and other bits are really worth most of your attention though!

What an interesting art gallery! With everything from ancient to modern it's really exciting and the collection comes from all over the world too, as well as a astonishingly good european masters section. It's really nice to be able to see so many different styles all in one great place. On sundays it's freeeeee!
