Museum Casa da Memória de Guimarães — Attraction in Guimarães

This museum surprisingly became the highlight of my visit in Guimarães.

The museum combines contemporary art, history and human interests and there is so much I could learn from my short visit.

There are two parts of the museum: part I is about the history of the place itself and part II is about the people in Guimarães. Both parts have interactive and multisensory exhibitions. Rather than a museum, to me it's probably closer to a contemporary art gallery.

It's self-aware, honest, and very inviting. Overall the experience is profound. Perhaps the best city museum I've ever visited in...

I would highly recommend this museum to all. It is located on the site of an old plastic factory and has a wonderful collection of resources/ artefacts displayed extremely well in a chronological style.l believe even local people would appreciate visiting here and children from this area would gain a better understanding of their own history. If you want to learn anything about this fabulous town's history then...

One of the highlights of my stay in Guimarães. The museum is interactive in a lot of portions, very dynamic. You can see the efforts behind to form a cohesive and interesting exposition. Staff was really friendly. It was really different from all the other museums I've been to, it's a good thing, because you actually learn a lot of things about so many topics related to the city and to Portugal. ...
