Paula Rego Museum (Casa das Historias-Museu Paula Rego)
museum, art, architecture, Cascais, photoop
There are many museums in Cascais but probably the most famous, and certainly the most controversial, is the Paula Rego Museum.
Paula Rego is Portugal’s best known living artist. Her artistic style is unique and has been described as “cartoon like”. There is a permanent Paula Rego exhibit but there are also rotating exhibits as well. The controversy lies in the design of the structure. It is a very contemporary design that many locals believe is out of place in Cascais. It is worth checking out to form your own opinion.
There is a cafe on site with a very nice outdoor eating area to take a break on a hot summer day.
There is a nominal entrance fee. The museum is open from 10 AM (1000) to 6 PM (1800). It is closed on Monday’s.
