An intriguing museum with a well-curated layout, making the exhibition easy to explore. The descriptions were thorough and engaging. The first floor showcases liturgical artifacts, including intricately crafted chalices, ciboria, tabernacles, incense burners, and other sacred vessels made from gold, silver, and precious metals. Visitors can also admire exquisite oil paintings and delve into Madeira’s history through a detailed timeline. Be sure not to miss the terrace on the third floor, adorned with magnificent ceramic tiles and mosaics, offering stunning views of the city and the ocean.

Churchgoing Experience Helps ... but not essential. This museum contaIns rare and valuable religious artifacts, mainly owned by the Funchal cathedral. It has pictures, statues and Mass vessels, many from the 16th century. They are all much easier to understand if you attend church but it is still an impressive collection. It is a lovely old building and the objects are well presented with detailed descriptions. It would also be a cooling place to visit in the summer. E5 pp to enter. Extra to visit the tower. Toilets closed when we visited.

A steep entry price for €7 (NOT €3 as the LP recent guidebook says), but free for journos like me. I wasn’t very interested in the silver pieces but the religious paintings especially by Flemish artists are indeed beautiful. Photos are allowed inside. I was there about 40 minutes. Lovely view from the roof with azulejos to boot.

The museum has an interesting collection of Northern European paintings all of which are attributed. It was a surprise to find a marvelous collection of Russian icons on the top floor. And a real treat was the open air terrace on the top with a great panorama on the roofs of the old town and around.

Is this is your style of art, I think you will love it. I admire the technicali and engineering of creating this pieces however the art was very dark and less me in a melancholy spirit… but the staff is friendly enough and it was even Z to navigate the museum overall.

Okayish place. Small museum and currently as of now (Sep 2024), their second floor was closed, but still, we managed to see interesting paints and artifacts. 1 hour is more than enough (also, don't forget to checkout 3rd floor for the rooftop)
