Entrepreneur Nogueira da Silva bequeathed, as a legacy to the University of Minho, not only his priceless antique and art collection, but also the building which is now the museum. Located in central Braga, this magnificent property, designed by architect Raul Rodrigues Rasp, has French inspired gardens. A philanthropist and avid art enthusiast, his collection, which is from various periods and styles, includes furniture, paintings, religious art and sculptures. There are also ceramics and silver and ivory objects. The building is additionally used for temporary exhibitions and other cultural activities.
