The Carvalho House Museum is located in the village of Carvalho, a small locality that is part of the municipality of Pampilhosa da Serra. Situated in a peaceful environment, its location reflects the rural and communal essence of the region.
The village of Carvalho, with its typical characteristics, provides a serene and authentic setting for this space dedicated to local memory and culture, allowing for an immersion in community life.
Dedicated to ethnography and anthropology, this museum space serves as a guardian of the identity and traditions of the Carvalho community. The stone-built edifice harmonizes with the local architecture, lending it a particular authenticity.
In addition to its function of preserving the past, the Carvalho House Museum is equipped to host artistic expression events, such as exhibitions, becoming a point of cultural dynamism for the village and its visitors.
The collection of the Carvalho House Museum is organized into two main sections: an ethnographic one and a documentary one. The ethnographic section offers a journey through time, recreating typical environments of a rural dwelling, such as the kitchen, bedroom, and living room, and even an old classroom, providing a perspective on the daily life of past generations.
This section displays a wide range of objects that tell stories: from traditional agricultural tools and everyday artifacts, to toys, musical instruments, various costumes, crockery, and items related to fishing and hunting. Complementarily, the documentary section preserves important documents, covering a vast period from the 13th to the 20th century, enriching the understanding of local history.
