Art Nouveau Museum, Aveiro
The Art Nouveau Museum is an integral part of the broader Aveiro Museum network, serving as the interpretive center for a collection of 28 Art Nouveau buildings scattered throughout the city. The primary concentration of these Art Nouveau-inspired structures is found in the central areas near the main canal, specifically in Humberto Delgado Square, Jo茫o Mendon莽a Street, and Barbosa Magalh茫es Street.
Housed in the former residence of M谩rio Pessoa, the museum's architectural design is attributed to Silva Rocha and Ernesto Korrodi. While the original furnishings have been lost over time, the museum takes on the crucial role of elucidating the origins and objectives of the Art Nouveau movement in Europe, particularly during its pinnacle between 1890 and 1910.
The museum showcases the artists and designers associated with the Art Nouveau movement, presenting their work through wall panels, photographs, posters, and an array of Art Nouveau artifacts. The collection encompasses diverse items such as azulejos, books, clothing, fabrics, glassware, and metalwork. The museum provides a comprehensive exploration of the movement's cultural impact and artistic expressions.
Visitors to the Art Nouveau Museum can enjoy not only the informative exhibits but also practical spaces such as a popular tea room and garden, an auditorium, a research center, and areas designated for temporary exhibitions.
