Francisco Franco stood out as one of the greatest Portuguese sculptors of the 1920s. He was one of the most requested authors to carry out the official statuary of the Estado Novo.
Henrique Franco received several national awards in the field of painting and participated in one of the most emblematic works of Portuguese modernism, the Church of Nossa Senhora de Fátima in Lisbon.
The Museum invests in medium or long-term exhibitions, in order to allow the rotation of the collection and has an educational service, oriented to the dissemination of the collection and its artists, to stimulate the taste for art and as a way to simplify the encounter between the exposed objects and the visitor, through guided tours, thematic activities and plastic expression workshops.
