History of National Tile Museum

The collection of the National Tile Museum covers tile production from the second half of the 15th century to the present. The collection includes pieces of ceramics, porcelain and earthenware from the 16th century to the present day. At the beginning of the permanent exhibition there is a small section that illustrates the materials and manufacturing techniques for tiles. From this brief introduction, the expository path follows a chronological organization.
Created in 1965, it became the Azulejo Museum in 1980, housed in the former Convent of Madre de Deus, founded in 1509 by Queen Dona Leonor. The building underwent transformations due to several construction campaigns, highlighting the 16th century Mannerist cloister, the church, decorated with important sets of paintings and tile coverings, the sacristy, with a wooden chest from Brazil and carved frames incorporating paintings , the high choir, with rich gilded ornamentation, the chapel of Santo António, with 18th century baroque decoration and a large number of canvases by the painter André Gonçalves.
