Near to the seafront lies the ethnographic Museu da Graciosa, which was opened in 1982 and boasts about 2,500 exhibits, spread over three sites. Installed within a former barn used to store wine and cereals, the first floor of the Museum recreates a typical dwelling in Graciosa. The ground floor incorporates the wine cellar of the building with tanks, presses and agricultural implements. Another section of the museum, the Barração das Canoas Baleeiros, a former whaling depot, can be found on the seafront, a couple of streets north of the main building. Also noteworthy is a collection of canes with elaborately carved knobs made of whalebones.
