O PIÃO is located in Trindade Village, a locality belonging to the municipality of Beja, in the Alentejo region. This museum space is integrated into the facilities where the administrative services of the Union of Parishes of Albernoa and Trindade operate, giving it a central and accessible presence in the village's community life.
This museum core is dedicated to the exploration and preservation of the world of toys, inviting visitors on a journey through the imaginary world of play. Inside, it is possible to observe a diversity of pieces that evoke memories and playful traditions from other eras. Among the exhibited objects are tops, wind-up toys, miniature cars, and dolls, elements that represent the richness and simplicity of the toys that marked generations.
The main collection of O PIÃO comes from the extensive private collection of Francisco Janeiro. One of the distinctive features of this space is its dynamic approach to presenting the pieces. The exhibition is periodically renewed, ensuring that each visit can offer new perspectives on the world of toys. This rotation allows for the exploration of Francisco Janeiro's vast collection, which evokes different origins and geographical contexts, transforming each visit into a discovery of diverse cultures and times through the toys that were created and shared by children worldwide.
