The Embroidery Museum Center is located in Nisa, in the heart of Bairro da Cevadeira. It is housed in a building that reflects the modest and traditional architecture of the village's historic center, naturally integrating into its urban fabric.
This museum center is entirely dedicated to the art of embroidery, a cultural expression deeply rooted in the Nisa region. It allows visitors to explore the diversity of patterns and techniques that characterize this ancestral art. The space illustrates the evolution of different embroidery "stitches" over time, presenting a panorama of its richness and complexity.
Inside the center, visitors can observe a variety of pieces that demonstrate local mastery. In addition to the embroideries themselves, which reveal the delicacy and detail of this art, there is also an old loom. The exhibition also includes examples of "alinhavados" (tacked pieces), bobbin laces, and pieces with felt applications, complementing the understanding of the different facets of Nisa's textile craftsmanship.
The creation of this center represents a commitment to valuing and preserving Nisa's typical craftsmanship. It embodies the intention to protect and disseminate knowledge passed down from generation to generation, helping to keep the village's cultural identity alive. The space serves as a meeting point with tradition, where visitors can appreciate the artistic legacy and the dedication of the hands that created these unique pieces.
