Housed in the restored Solar dos Carneiros, an 18th century manor house, the Ethnography and History museum illustrates the life of the maritime community and rural parishes of Póvoa de Varzim. Opened in 1937, the exhibits include ceramics, clothing, toys, craft items and documentation of the pre-Roman periods and the Roman occupation. The chapel is also open to visitors and opposite the museum you will find the Municipal Archive. In the city harbour it is possible to visit the Lancha Poveira do Alto, a traditional Póvoa de Varzim boat.
