"António de Medeiros e Almeida was a wealthy Portuguese entrepreneur who first made his fortune in automobiles and aviation. He then went on to fill the palatial home he shared with his wife with beautiful, historic objects, eventually leading to the creation of the Medeiros e Almeida Foundation in 1972. Set close to Avenida da Liberdade, the mansion features 27 galleries throughout two wings: the well-preserved old quarters where the couple once dwelled, and the newer, more gallery-like space built in the 1970s." - Alia Akkam
