Visitable museums and collections

Located in a building that was part of the Massó factory, an old canning industry. The museum came about due to the collections made by the Massó family, which culminated with the opening of a private marine museum in 1932. The museum was reopened in July 2002, presenting a collection of ethnographic and anthropologic content, with the sea and its activities as the subject of its collections: From objects from the canning factory to others linked to ancestral trades, such as traditional boat building, fish salting. It also contains a very valuable book collection of exceptional quality, from which we can highlight the incunabula section. The collection is completed with a small series of nautical instruments, models of historic and traditional boats and a good number of etchings of marine scenes.

The Diocesan and Cathedral Museum of Lugo was firstly born as an archaeological museum, due to the precious collection of stone and numismatics, among its 2,400 funds. Along with this legacy from the past, the museum houses religious images, liturgical smithing and sculptures or parts of the identity of the Crismón de Quiroga (5th century). It also hosts the marble remains of Santa Eulalia de Bóveda (4th century), the remains of the Saamasas gate (9th century), the enamelled medieval bronzes, the Romanesque cross of Meira, the Crucificado de Loio or the Virxe Aleitador from the Fusco chapel in Lalín.

The will of creating an art museum in A Coruña rose at the end of 19th century. However, the museum was not established until 1922 and opened for the general public until 1947. After several temporary emplacements, in 1995 was opened the present new building - designed by the Galician architect Manuel Gallego Jorreto. Located in the old plot of the Capuchin Sisters Convent, the new building is born from the old construction made by Fernando Casas y Novoa in 18th century.

This sacred art museum, one of the most important in Galicia, occupies some of the chambers of the Saint Clare convent in Monforte de Lemos. The convent was founded in 1622 by Catarina de la Cerda y Sandoval, wife to Pedro Fernández de Castro, VII Count of Lemos. Catarina was ordained in this convent once she was widowed; This patronage is of vital importance, given that the collection houses part of the great artistic legacy from both of these nobles. The legacy includes magnificent paintings, sculptures, ivories, textiles and sumptuary objects (especially reliquaries). All these pieces were gathered by the Counts of Lemos during their viceroyalty in Naples from 1610 to 1616.
