Museu de Arte Nova, Aveiro
Some museums, small as they can be, get their names from the building they are located in. The Art Nouveau Museum in Aveiro is a great example for that, thanks to its location in Casa Major Pessoa, a true icon of Art Nouveau architecture.Casa Major Pessoa was initiated by Mario Belmonte Person in 1907 and was designed by the architects Francisco Augusto da Silva Rocha and Ernesto Korrodi .
The building was purchase by the city of Aveiro in 2004 and in 2008 was converted to what it is now, a museum.
On the first floor there is a charming little tea place to enjoy tea, coffees and local patisseries.
The museum is closed on Monday
