With such a rich Maritime/Military history on this island, this lovely museum is a great representation of just that. Weapons of wars past... anyway, It's a short stroll, but uphill, from the City Center, it's uncrowded, and the entry price is very reasonable. We walked in longing for historical information, and we walked out satisfied and craving more. It added such value to our trip here on the island. If the weather turns foul on any of your days here...what a great idea to escape the rain! Museums and espresso...that's a good day!

This is a well put together museum that merits a good hour or more of tour time - for 2 euros ( come ON 2 Euros? Raise that!) you get an in depth exploration of Terceiran and Azorean history and culture, presented across a stunning building in its own right. English and Portuguese displays, interactive sections, a wealth of photo history. There’s real pride of place here and this museum sums up so much of why theAzores and Angra are so important to Portuguese history. Recommended when in Angra do Heroismo.

This museum has an unexpectedly large collection of interesting displays, ranging from the history of the building itself to the entire history of the Azores, old cars and coaches and even some of the first world war. Unfortunately not all information is given in English. The entry fee is very cheap, only 2 euros per adult. We took our time and spent about 2 hours here.

Absolutely fantastic museum in a remarkable building, the old St. Sebastian Convent. The church is historic and quite possibly one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. The detail in the artwork is breathtaking. The museum does feature English translations. The exhibits take the visitor from the early days of the island to present day. For only 2€, this is a must do!!!

A great museum if you're looking for a deep and complete review of the Terceira Island history. The entry fee is only €2, while you can easily spend more than 1 hour here. It details how the place started as a religious site and evolved over time until becoming the museum it is today. Definitely a place to visit during your stay.

A wonderful place to visit! Do not let the outside appearance deceive you. Inside you will find many rooms containing historical exhibits. This museum is well organized and provides a chronological, professional display of Portuguese history. There is also a beautiful church at this wheelchair accessible location. Enjoy.
