The splendid Monteiro-Mor Park, much of which is wooded, was sold to the state and the 18th century palace buildings were converted into the national museums of Theatre and Costume (see separate entries). The Sculpture Garden was inaugurated in 1995 to house works by both national and international artists. It contains ‘Ladies of Strong Character Cultivate Wild Herbs’ by the Portuguese sculptor Catarina Baleiras and ‘Castle of the Eye’ by the Japanese Minoru Niizuma. In 2007, two more sculptures were due to be unveiled, Soror Mariana (Sister Mariana) by João Cutileiro and A Mola (The Spring) by José Lucas.
