The museum is established in the former Convento de São Francisco. It displays interesting collections of furniture, ceramic and porcelain, paintings, sculptures, music, navigation instruments, coins, medals, weapons as well as carriages and landaus and it has also an ethnological department. Included in the museum complex is the adjoining Igreja de São Franciso, also known as Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Guia. Its remarkable collections show a view of the history of the city and the island. The Museum also has three permanent expositions: Azorean painting on wood (XVI and XVII); a battery of Scheineder-Canet artillery from World War I and Memories of a Building.
