The collection is divided in five thematic parts: pre-history, Roman period, Visigoth period, Islamic period and modern ages.

The museum is housed in the Convent of Our Lady of the Conception, founded in 1459 by the Infantes D. Fernando and D. Brites.

This museum contains inscribed stelae, which constitute the most important collection of Early Christian tombstones found in Portugal.
