Running through late May, this partnership exhibition between Faro's Municipal Museum and Lisbon's prestigious National Museum of Ancient Art brings masterworks to the Algarve under the MNAA está aqui (MNAA is here) programme.

Olhar a Paisagem (Looking at Landscape) invites you on a journey through Portuguese landscape painting, drawing on the remarkable collections of the National Museum of Ancient Art to explore how artists have captured the nation's varied terrain and light.

It's a rare opportunity to see works that would normally require a trip to Lisbon, brought south to the region whose own landscapes—coastal, rural and mountainous—have inspired artists for centuries.

The exhibition takes place in Faro's Municipal Museum, housed in a beautiful 16th-century convent in the heart of the old town. The building itself, with its cloisters and azulejo tiles, provides an atmospheric setting for the works.

This exhibition will appeal to art lovers, anyone interested in how landscape shapes culture and identity, and visitors looking to add cultural depth to a beach holiday.

Faro's old town is compact and walkable, with the museum close to the cathedral and the harbour. Combine your visit with a stroll through the historic centre and perhaps lunch in one of the traditional restaurants nearby.

Check locally for exact opening times and any admission fees. The museum's location within the old town walls makes it easy to reach on foot from most central points.
