Pazo de Tor
About This Museum
What immediately sets Pazo de Tor apart is its profound sense of place; this isn't a sterile white cube but a living, breathing piece of Galician history. The stone walls and creaking wooden floors of the pazo itself are the first exhibit, whispering centuries of stories before you even see an artifact. Its collections feel wonderfully personal, a curated assemblage of regional life rather than a formal, imposing archive. You get the delightful sense of wandering through a grand, ancestral home where every object has a tale. It’s an intimate and deeply atmospheric encounter with the soul of this corner of Spain.
Collection Highlights
Look for the stunning displays of traditional goldsmithing, intricate pieces that gleam against the rustic stone. The collection of 'tixolas' (traditional flat cooking pots) and other domestic items paints a vivid picture of daily life, while religious art and historical documents tie the estate directly to the region's layered past.
