Set in the former monastery of São Boaventura, which was built in the first half of the 17th century, the Museu das Flores is the island’s ethnographic museum. Here, visitors can learn everything about authentic life on the island, including whaling, navigation and the art of scrimshaw. There is also a department dedicated to religious art with some fine gold religious objects on display. There is also a section displaying antique furniture, accommodated in the Casa Museu (also called Casa de Pimentel de Mesquita), an old town house from the 17th century, probably one of the oldest on the island.
