Museu da Indústria Baleeira

Installed in the former whale factory of Armações Baleeiras Reunidas, this museum presents a permanent exhibition explaining the work carried out in the factory, namely the process of transforming the whale and the instruments and machinery used. In the blacksmith's workshop, you can see pieces such as harpoons and other materials used in whaling, and also watch them being worked on by artisans.
