Inside is one of Europe&#8217;s most important collections of folk instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Irish tower for a Portuguese singer of songs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The house was built from 1918 by Jorge O&#8217;Neill, who knew it as St Patrick&#8217;s Tower, and later enlarged with a two-storey cloister and sheltered garden. Its next owners, Enrique Mantero Belard and his wife Gertrudes Verdades de Faria, left it to the town of Cascais with one condition: that it become a museum named after her. The music came from two great legacies \u2014 the folk-instrument collection of the ethnomusicologist Michel Giacometti, acquired in 1981, and the estate of the composer Fernando Lopes-Gra\u00e7a, who left the museum his papers, records and pianos in 1994.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to see<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Traditional Portuguese instruments, from bagpipes to guitars<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Lopes-Gra\u00e7a collection, including his own pianos<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Azulejo panels from palaces and chapels around the country<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A romantic garden of some 12,000 square metres<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Temporary concerts and exhibitions of Portuguese music<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The museum is at Avenida Sab\u00f3ia 1146, Monte Estoril, a short walk uphill from Monte Estoril station. It is open Tuesday to Sunday, 10.00\u201318.00, closed on Mondays, and is part of the Cascais municipal museum network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Image credit: Museu da M\u00fasica Portuguesa by R\u00fadisicyon \u2014 CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a Raul Lino house in Monte Estoril, the Museum of Portuguese Music keeps folk instruments, the Lopes-Gra\u00e7a legacy and a romantic garden.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":59204,"parent":12301,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1074],"tags":[1072],"attraction-categ":[1058],"localidade":[257],"content-type":[],"grupo-de-experiencias":[],"experiencia-tipo":[],"regioes_turisticas_term":[223],"class_list":["post-59227","to-visit","type-to-visit","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-city","tag-region-of-portugal","attraction-categ-museums-art-galleries","localidade-cascais","regioes_turisticas_term-lisbon-and-surroundings"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v28.7) -
