This museum is devoted to recording the region’s culture up to the 1970s, after which the high-rise era took over. Handicraft industries, saddle making, salt panning, weaving, lace making and, of course, the fishing industry, are all documented and together with depiction of the interior of homes, give a nostalgic insight into the old traditional peasant way of life. Don’t miss the wooden cart used by the last water seller in Olhão until his death in 1974.
