Museum of São Roque

The São Roque Museum was one of the first art museums to be created in Portugal. It opened to the public on January 11, 1905, with the designation of Museum of the Treasury of the Capela de São João Baptista, in evocation of the important collection of Italian art that led to its creation. Since its opening, it has been installed in the building of the former Teaching House of the Society of Jesus in Lisbon, a space adjacent to the Church of São Roque, which had been donated to the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa in 1768, after the expulsion of the Jesuits.

Throughout the 20th century, it was the object of several renovations, which made it possible to follow the changes that took place in the field of museology. The most extensive refurbishment was carried out between 2006 and 2008, allowing the museum to expand and double its permanent exhibition area.
