Museu da Terra de Miranda

TIME : 2016/2/18 23:37:18

This modest but attractive museum sheds light on a unique culture that has preserved millennial traditions into the 21st century. The handsome 17th-century building (formerly Miranda’s city hall) houses a fascinating collection of local artefacts: ceramics, textiles, clothing, furniture, musical instruments and tribal-looking masks, along with recreations of a traditional kitchen, a blacksmith’s forge and a room dedicated to traditional wool and linen weaving, complete with massive looms.
