Instalada numa casa nobre de traça barroca, esta casa museu foi criada em 1942 por Maria Isabel Guerra Junqueiro com o propósito de recriar o ambiente privado da casa do Poeta. Reúne um notável espólio de artes decorativas de ourivesaria, mobiliário, cerâmica, têxteis, vidros, metal, armas e armaduras e um depósito de escultura, doado pelo Poeta ao Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga. A Casa Museu foi reabilitada com espaços de carácter museológico, as salas de exposição temporária e a reserva e com novas áreas destinadas ao público, o auditório, a cafetaria e a loja. No jardim, podemos admirar uma escultura que imortaliza o Poeta Guerra Junqueiro do escultor Leopoldo de Almeida.
