One of Lisbon's most outstanding but little-known museums, the former
residence of Antonio Medeiros e Almeida houses a priceless collection of
17th- to 20th-century fine arts.
Displayed in 25 rooms, it ranges from
porcelain to furniture, to silverware, paintings by artists such as George
Romney and Thomas Gainsborough, and sculptures.
One of the highlights is
furniture by François Linke, one of the most celebrated furniture makers of
the 19th century, with the most noteworthy pieces being a long case clock in
rosewood and glass marble, and a Louis XIV-style cabinet with strong art
nouveau influences.
In the Silver Room is a dinner service that once
belonged to Napoleon Bonaparte, the Lake Room contains marble and gilded
bronze wall fountains from the Palace of Versailles, and the Porcelain Room
displays priceless and rare pieces from the Han and Qing dynasties.
