To fully enjoy the collection and the building’s architecture, it is recommended to allow between 1 hour and 1 hour 30 minutes for the visit. If you are a great admirer of Paula Rego, you may want to stay a little longer to appreciate every detail.

This museum is a unique space dedicated to the work of Paula Rego, one of Portugal’s most important and internationally acclaimed artists. Its architecture, designed by Eduardo Souto de Moura, is also a work of art in itself, blending harmoniously into the landscape and serving as the permanent home for much of her artistic production, including works rarely shown to the public.

To avoid crowds, I suggest visiting early in the morning (10:00–11:00 AM) or later in the afternoon (after 4:00 PM). Spring and autumn are usually the best seasons, with pleasant weather and fewer tourists than in summer.

Yes, the museum is designed to be accessible. It has elevators and ramps to make it easy to reach all floors and galleries. I recommend contacting the museum directly if you have specific needs, to confirm any details and ensure a comfortable visit: +351 214 826 970.

The museum is strategically located in the center of Cascais. Very nearby, you can visit the Cascais Citadel, the Castro Guimarães Counts Park and Museum, or take a walk along Cascais Marina and the historic center, full of shops and restaurants. Boca do Inferno is also within easy reach, ideal for a coastal stroll.

I recommend wearing comfortable shoes for walking through the building and gardens. Consider using our iAudioguia audio guide to enrich your experience with detailed stories about the artworks and Paula Rego’s life. And don’t forget to visit the museum shop, where you’ll find unique souvenirs.
