The Museu Abílio de Mattos e Silva was established, by the will of Maria José Salavisa, more than ten years ago in Óbidos, Portugal.
This museum is focused on painter Abílio de Mattos e Silva, and is located in the building called Paços de Concelho, formerly used as town hall, court, prison, and - up to 2004 - the home of the Museu Municipal de Óbidos; as well as in the Casa do Arco, the house where the artists lived.
Abílio de Mattos e Silva was born in Sardoal in 1908. Despite not being born in Óbidos, he established close connections with the city, since it was in Óbidos where he grew up and lived with his wife, interior designer Maria José Salavisa.
Besides being a promising plastic artist, he also devoted some time to other arts, such as opera and theatre.
More information: The ardent fans of art will find in this museum illustration books, heritage and a great diversity of ancient books.
