Please join us on a guided tour of the Casa-Museu Teixeira Lopes/ Galerias Diogo de Macedo in Gaia. This 18th century building holds valuable works of art and an important collection of bronze sculptures, marble and plasterboard models created by Teixeira Lopes (1866-1942).

The museum is supervised by the Municipality of Gaia, with a thematic vocation in the area of fine arts, comprised of the works of the sculptors António Teixeira Lopes and Diogo de Macedo and the collections gathered by them.

In the house, which is divided into spaces of residence and work, remains the original furniture, the originals of the sculptor’s work (in plaster, marble, bronze and various drawings in blood, charcoal, pencil and sepia), as well as works by other artists in sculpture (Soares dos Reis and Oliveira Ferreira), and in painting (Gustavo Doré, Vieira Portuense, etc.). The Collection is extensive, encompassing Portuguese and foreign faience, tapestries, furniture and small collections of decorative art.

A building annexed to the studio of Teixeira Lopes, the Galleries, originated in the agreement established between the Municipality of Gaia and the widow of Diogo de Macedo who, fulfilling the wish of her husband, donated much of the artist’s work and collection.
