Casa das Histórias Paula Rego is a museum designed by architect Eduardo Souto de Moura, featuring two striking red concrete pyramids. It houses a comprehensive collection of works by the renowned Portuguese-British artist Paula Rego, known for her emotionally charged, story-based paintings and prints. The galleries display her series based on literature, fairy tales, and personal themes, often exploring female experience. The building itself is a work of art, with natural light enhancing the viewing experience. A visit offers deep insight into Rego's imaginative and often unsettling world.
