Remaining beams of the silk factory

Set in a former silk factory, this museum houses paintings by Portuguese artist Vieira da Silva and her husband Arpàd Szenes. Open spaces, wooden beams and high ceilings reflect da Silva's urban inspiration and capture the tone of her work.

The layout and almost imperceptible obstacles between visitors and the art give the impression of being at a gallery rather than a museum.
