Museu Ibérico de Arqueologia e Arte
This prize-winning museum, opened in 2022, showcases municipal and private collections that include archaeological finds from Abrantes and the surrounding area as well as from elsewhere in the Iberian Peninsula and beyond (including Ancient Greece, Egypt, and Mesopotamia), plus sacred art from the region over the centuries, and some modern art. It is all housed in a former Dominican monastery, founded in the 16th century, that is one of the city's most important historic buildings, now sensitively restored as part of a project by leading Portuguese architect Carrilho da Graça.
