The poet José Régio (1901-1969) was a teacher in Portalegre and his house during this period was converted to a museum in 1971. In keeping with the poet’s wishes, the inside was untouched. The museum contains an extensive collection of religious and regional art collected by the poet. The exhibition includes a remarkable collection of over 400 Christs on the Cross, with the oldest dating back to the 15th century. There are also shrines, oratorios, objects donated to the church and other examples of popular religious expression in addition to pieces produced in more traditional fashion in cork and forged iron.
