Set up by a former director of the Municipal Library, Adolfo César de Noronha, it houses a valuable collection of the archipelago’s fauna, flora and geology and also conducts important scientific research into the Macaronesia region. Items of particular interest are the exhibits of plumed birds and the collection of sea lions and sharks. On the first floor there is a small aquarium and the building also houses the Municipal Library.
