MUDAS. Museu de Arte Contemporânea da Madeira
Calheta
- Indoors
- From 6
- Children from 5 €
- Just turn up
A concrete art museum cut into a cliff above Calheta, with an 18 € family ticket and an education service whose workshops are never published in advance.
The building - Paulo David's concrete terraces stepping down the hillside - usually does more for a child than the exhibitions inside it, and the family ticket makes the visit cheap. An education service does exist and runs guided visits and hands-on activities, but nothing is published with a name, a date, an age band or a price, so a family cannot plan around it. Ring first if the workshop is the reason you are driving thirty minutes west.
Worth knowing: Ask for the family ticket by name. It covers at least one adult and at least one minor for 18 €, and it is easy to be sold single tickets instead. Closed Sundays and Mondays.
