The Ceramics Museum (Museu da Cerâmica) is housed in the beautiful former mansion of Viscount Sacavém, a collector, ceramist and important patron of ceramics artisans in Caldas da Rainha. The museum collection consists of representative works, from the 16th to 20th centuries, from all of Portugal’s important ceramics regions, as well as pieces from many international locations.
Kids enjoy the whimsical works…..but they will be more excited at getting their hands dirty. The museum allows children to actually put their hands in clay and make their own creations.
Afterward, the whole family can enjoy a walk through the romantic gardens with its footpaths, flower beds and lakes. Unique ceramic are sprinkled throughout the gardens for decoration and discovery.
