Museu de Aveiro (Sta. Joana)

Introduction

The Aveiro Museum, located in the city of Aveiro, Portugal, is the municipal museum displaying the urban history and regional culture of Aveiro. Housed in a historic building with some galleries converted from a former convent, the museum collects archaeological artifacts, religious art, models of traditional Aveiro painted Moliceiro boats, local porcelain, and Portuguese modern art. The most precious holdings are medieval religious sculptures and 16th-century Portuguese Age of Discovery artifacts. The museum is a core place to understand the evolution of Aveiro from a fishing village to a lagoon city, and an important stop on the Aveiro cultural walking route. It offers visitors a comprehensive view of the region's rich heritage from medieval religious traditions through the maritime age to modern artistic expression.
