Lamego Museum
Museu de Lamego
A national-level museum housed in the old bishop's palace, with 16th-century Flemish tapestries and altarpieces by Portuguese painter Vasco Fernandes.
The Lamego Museum occupies the 18th-century former bishop's palace across from the cathedral and is one of Portugal's important regional national museums. Its treasures are a set of 16th-century Brussels tapestries and the altarpiece series painted for the cathedral by Renaissance painter Grão Vasco. The museum also has a gilded wood chapel, tiles and other religious art. It is a manageable size and can be seen in about an hour. Admission is around €5, and it is closed on Mondays.
