Fodor's Expert Review Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Elvas

Focusing on 20th-century artists, this museum is definitely worth a visit if you're curious about modern aesthetics in otherwise traditional Alentejo. The well-organized exhibits feature about 300 works that rotate throughout the year. The baroque-style building itself is also exquisite—it was once a hospital run by a religious order. Upstairs there's a chapel lined with azulejos, and a café with nice views of Elvas.
