Casa das Mudas Art Centre
This art centre is located in Calheta on the west coast of Madeira and was set up to raise public awareness of the arts in general and modern art in particular.
This cultural facility in Calheta is divided into two parts, a mansion built in the 16th century that belonged to a granddaughter of João Gonçalves Zarco, the discoverer of Madeira, and a new, modern wing that blends in perfectly with the surrounding scenery.
This cultural centre is designed to house a variety of exhibitions, musical performances, plays, conferences and many other events.
