Latest news and stories about museum closures in Portugal for expats and residents.
The municipality of Vila Velha de Ródão has closed all museum sites and cancelled events scheduled for the weekend due to disruptions caused by the passage of Storm Kristin through the council area.
The Batalha Monastery, the National Museum of Conímbriga, the Convent of Christ in Tomar and the José Malhoa Museum in Caldas da Rainha were closed following the adverse weather. But there's more: the National Palace of Mafra does not appear on the list of the most significant cases, yet its director warns of 'a chronic situation that only worsens'.
The Batalha Monastery, the National Museum of Conímbriga, the Convent of Christ and the José Malhoa Museum are closed with no expected date for reopening.
Museums, monuments and palaces under the authority of Museus e Monumentos de Portugal will be closed on 24 and 31 December due to tolerância de ponto (employer‑granted time off), while the facilities of the Instituto do Património Cultural will also close on 26 December.
