Went there two days running, because I stupidly missed one of the most fascinating sections - the prehistoric collection downstairs. Among some great displays perhaps the most memorable were the carved stone plaques that evoke owls, costumed figured, etc. The lady kindly waived the charge for our repeat visit. Small enough museum not to leave you dizzy.
A wonderful architecturally interesting building combining modern structure with ancient walls, the collection was terrific and quite extensive for a small museum. You can walk around at your own pace, and the staff were very helpful. A must see in Evora.
Virtually no visitors in this great museum. Go so you can see for yourself what 1000s are missing as they wander outside to see the Temple of Diana [what little is left]. Do spend an hour or two here.
This was a wonderful and really cheap museum with all the information about Évora's history dating from the Romans and Medieval times.
Stunningly amazing!!!Well priced and given a hearing device to explain most exhibits, and there are many.You'll see statues, old restored art as if it was newly created.You would not expect to see anything like this in a small city like Evora.The pride in preserving the heritage here is a no brained once you visit this awesome museum.
the new and attractive display and the richness of the patrimony. I loved the amazing group of more than 10 pannels representing Our Lady's life. They belong to the flemmish school of art and were created in the XVI century. Remarkable are also the examples of Roman architecture .
Very well spaced exhibits and well labelled in English.A beautiful building with roman and prehistoric exhibits as well as later artefacts.Religious Art upstairs.Very well worth a visit.Air conditioned and facilities.Reduction for retired folk.(reformada)
From graces of Christian conquerors that are unearthed in the heart of the museum, to the funerary monuments (both real and faked--clearly identified as such) and the art on the second floor, this museum provides a sense of the city's history and pride in its artists.
A wonderful surprise: an excellent museum with free audio guide; one floor of sculpture from Roman period onwards and one floor of paintings including some fine Flemish works.
Lots of stuff to see from Neolithic to the late middle ages. Reasonable entrance fee includes audio guide.
