This museum is located in the Romanesque cloister of the Church of Nossa Senhora da Oliveira, in the historic center of the city Guimarães, Portugal.
It was designed to stock the collections of the former Colégio da Nossa Senhora da Oliveira and other churches and convents of the city.
Inside is a magnificent collection of ecclesiastical art and religious elegance. Highlights include the tunic that João I wore at the battle of Aljubarrota in 1385; also worth mentioning the impressive collection of jewelry and sculptures from the medieval and Renaissance period (until the 18th century).
