À propos
Faits rapides: This museum is housed in a striking early 20th-century palace that belonged to a wealthy art collector and politician. It features a mix of decorative arts, paintings, and rare artifacts from different continents.
Points forts: One fascinating piece is a 17th-century Arabian astrolabe that vividly illustrates navigational skills centuries ago. The palace's art nouveau interior decoration, complete with stained glass and hand-carved woodwork, creates a stunning atmosphere rarely found in museums.
Conseils d'initiés
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking through spacious rooms and ornate gardens.
- Photograph the detailed stained glass and wood paneling in natural light near windows.
- Skip the crowded mid-afternoon by arriving right at opening time.
- Spend a few extra minutes in the garden courtyard for peaceful views and unique sculpture pieces.

Avez-vous entendu parler des visites à pied gratuites ?
Après avoir voyagé dans plus de 30 pays, il y a une chose que j'aurais aimé qu'on me dise dès le premier jour, et cela a complètement changé ma façon de découvrir les nouvelles villes.
Les visites à pied gratuites. Oui, vraiment gratuites. Pas besoin de carte de crédit. Pas de piège.

J'ai fait ces visites dans des dizaines de villes et elles ont été le point fort de presque tous mes voyages. Si vous visitez Madeira, Portugal, faites-le le premier jour. Vous me remercierez plus tard.
