Museu Anjos Teixeira is a small sculpture museum in Sintra, at Azinhaga Sardinha, downhill from the curved street linking the railway station with the historic centre. Its rooms display work by Portuguese sculptors Artur and Pedro Anjos Teixeira, a father-and-son pair, with pieces ranging from small studies to larger figures. Look for realistic human and animal forms, along with sketches and photographs. Sculptures also stand along the nearby Vulcha Dulche sidewalk, so you can extend the visit outdoors as you walk through town.
Sculptures by a father and son
The museum is devoted to Artur and Pedro Anjos Teixeira, Portuguese sculptors whose work spans several rooms. The collection includes sculptures and drawings, as well as photographs connected with the sculptors. Artur studied at the Escola de Belas Artes in Lisbon and went to Paris in 1907. One of his works, “O Fauno ea Ninfa”, is now displayed at Lisbon’s Museu do Chiado.
Look beyond the museum rooms
The collection includes human and animal subjects, with works ranging from small pieces to larger sculptures. English information accompanies the artworks, giving you context as you move through the rooms. Outside, sculptures continue along the Vulcha Dulche sidewalk. The street curves between the railway station area and Sintra’s historic centre, making the outdoor works easy to include in a walk through town.
