Bordalo Pinheiro Museum

This guide to the Bordalo Pinheiro Museum in Lisbon follows the cartoonist Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro from 1875, when he drew a poor peasant named Zé Povinho getting robbed by the Finance Minister in a satirical weekly, through three decades of returning to the same character again and again. You'll hear about the 1882 cartoon that got him charged with sacrilege for parodying Leonardo's Last Supper, and about the ceramics factory he founded in Caldas da Rainha, where his satirical eye turned from paper to clay. Look for the tureens shaped like toads among the display cases as you make your way through the rooms.
