Martins Correia, the expressionist artist known as ‘sculptor of colour’, was born in Golegă in 1910. His parents died when he was very young and he entered a charitable institution, which fortunately fostered his latent talent. He was attracted to sculpture early in his career, but also worked in many other materials, an example being the seven by three metre ceramic panel on the façade of his home in Golegă. This great artist has donated a large portion of his output to this municipal museum, which displays more than 600 works including sculptures, azulejo, drawings, engravings and medals.
