Museum retracing the history of millions of Azorean emigrants, and featuring various events throughout the year.

Housed in the town's old fish market, this small museum traces the history of millions of Azorean emigrants, now more numerous abroad than on the archipelago! Packed with archives and period objects, this is a fascinating museum. You'll discover, for example, that the Hawaiian ukulele actually comes from the Azores archipelago. Temporary exhibitions and events are organized throughout the year. A visit not to be missed!

250.000 habitants répartis sur les 9 îles et 2 millions d'açoriens "hors frontières", voilà qui pose question. Ce charmant musée et sa charmante conservatrice sont là pour vous répondre. La visite se fait un peu dans le désordre, mais il touche au coeur et laisse entrevoir la vie difficile qui a poussé les gens à s'expatrier. A ne pas manquer et à visiter en début de séjour pour mieux éclairer la suite du séjour. La vieille ville est jolie et une balade le long de la côte débute à 50m du musée. 2,00€ et 1,00€ si 65+
Small museum rich in information on the shifts in population in the Azores. You will discover that a group of indigenous the Azores left in the 19th century to Hawaii with a small typical instrument with 4 strings the Azores, that the Hawaiians adopted under the name of Ukulele.
