Housed in the former Sintra Casino, designed by the architect Norte Júnior and opened in 1924, MU.SA – the Sintra Museum of Art – is an inspiring and inclusive museum, where the collection on display takes visitors on a journey through contemporary art, with a particular focus on the important collection of works depicting Sintra.
The Museum organises temporary exhibitions by national and international artists, promoting creativity, experimentation and new artistic practices. It has a Cultural Mediation Service which develops specific initiatives aimed at diverse audiences, seeking to encourage new dynamics and participation.
In addition to hosting temporary exhibitions of contemporary art, the Museum has two permanent exhibition spaces: the Dorita de Castel-Branco Room, which houses an exhibition of works donated to the municipality by the artist, and the Pedro Cabrita Reis Space, where the site-specific work ‘Uma Nuvem Negra’ resides and interacts with the building and other works on display.
MU.SA offers a cultural mediation service and houses the Municipal Bookshop.
