Museu José Malhoa
Created in 1933, this was the first museum built from scratch in Portugal, designed by architects Paulino Montês (1897-1962) and Eugénio Corrêa (1897-1985). The José Malhoa Museum displays the largest collection of works by its patron and an important collection of 19th and 20th-century paintings and sculptures. Completing the collections are a section on Caldas da Rainha ceramics – centered around the importance of Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro's work for local faience – and the unique set of 60 terracotta sculptures of the "Passion of Christ" – an open-air sculpture collection, and an art library with over 5,000 items.
