Creation and Objectives

The Francisco Capelo Collection started in the 1990s. With more than 1,000 design and 1,200 fashion pieces, most of it haute couture, The Francisco Capelo Collection portrays the history of design and fashion from the 1930s to the present, being an exceptional collection to Portugal and to the international scene.

The design and fashion collections were assembled in a complementary manner, with each piece chosen through a concept-based museum dialogue, and not according to personal tastes.
