Museu Municipal de Faro
The first museum created in the Algarve, in 1874, is located in the former Convent of Nossa Senhora da Assunção. Deactivated in 1834, after the extinction of religious orders, the convent was used as a cork factory during the 20th century. Later, in 1960, the works of adaptation to a museum began. It presents permanent exhibitions of Archeology (Roman and Islamic periods), Religious Painting from the 16th to the 19th century and Painting from the 20th century, as well as temporary exhibitions of the most varied themes.
