Grão Vasco National Museum, Art museum in Viseu, Portugal
The Grão Vasco National Museum displays Portuguese Renaissance art collections, including altarpieces, metalwork, tapestries, and sculptures within a Mannerist architectural building.
The museum building, constructed in the late 16th century as a seminary near Viseu Cathedral, opened its doors as a cultural institution in 1916.
The museum houses numerous religious artworks by Vasco Fernandes, including the first representation of a Brazilian native in Western art through his altarpiece.
Located at Adro Sé in Viseu, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
Architect Eduardo Souto de Moura modernized the interior while preserving the historical elements of this former episcopal seminary building.
