Nice couple of hours spent going round the museum. Interesting to see how how successful the area was and how many jobs were created by the sardine industry. Yes some of the video of abit propaganda driven but let’s hope that’s just a translation issue. For the money it’s well worth a visit and the coffee shop after has decent drinks and snacks.

Very interesting insight into the history of Portimão (which used to be a lot bigger, as you'll find out!) as an industrious fishing village whose prosperity came from canned Sardines.

Industrial equipment on display including ovens, oil spreaders, can printers, can sealers, all used in the production of Sardines on a mass scale.

Underground section talks of a sunken ship at Portimão which was very interesting and a different set up you may not see again anywhere else

Worthy of a visit for a few hours. It's only €3pp entry! Discounted for children. Free on certain days and times. Given the amount on display, I’d say that €3pp is not only excellent value, but probably under-priced!

Fairly inexpensive to get in 3 euro for an adult, if you want to know how sardines are canned in the old days, it’s interesting, otherwise not really a historic museum per se. Took about an hour to finish, including watching the very old historic films with English subtitles

Amazing history with a film of the early days of the thriving Sardine business before the Revolution. Working all day in the canning factories, these women were subjected to extremely arduous labor for years. There is also a large statue about 2 blocks away in a rotunda honoring the women who worked in the factories. Well done.
