Museums and Palaces

The António Duarte (1912-1998) Atelier and Museum was inaugurated in 1985, after the donation made by sculptor António Duarte of his art collection to his hometown, the city of Caldas da Rainha. The initial idea was to provide the building with a workshop space that could give conditions to invited artists to develop their personal projects.

Here we can find, distributed in several rooms, a key part of his work, from public sculpture (mainly small sketches, models and small scale models) wich constitute the most known expression of his work, to a more personal and intimate nature of his art works. An interesting religious art nucleus can be seen as well.
