Opened to the public in 1994, the Museum of the Santa Casa da Misericordia de Matosinhos has a rich collection, made up of benefactors’ bequests and the institution’s own acquisitions. Worthy of mention is the valuable collection of paintings and the Sacred Art section, which is an important collection with sumptuous liturgical ornaments and vestments, some oil paintings with scenes from the Passion of Christ, various objects in gilded carving and the interesting collection of votive offerings, offered by devotees of the Lord of Matosinhos, mainly from the 19th century. It is possible to visit the space by appointment, with free admission.
