Museums and Palaces

The José de Guimarães International Arts Centre (CIAJG) combines works from the three collections that José Guimarães has collected over five decades - African Tribal Art, Pre-Columbian Art (Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, and Costa Rica) and Ancient Chinese Art – with works by the artist José Guimarães and by other contemporary artists and objects of popular, religious and archaeological heritage, in a spiritual and symbolic itinerary that charts a geographical and temporal arc, commencing in his home city of Guimarães and which crosses civilisations from three continentes, with rich and complex cultures, to return to his place of origin, providing a reflection on diversity as a form of construction of identity. In short, the CIAJG operates as an Atlas - establishing ties between objects, images and ideas from very distant cultures.
