Museu situado no antigo convento de Santo André que foi vendido ao estado pelos descendentes de José do Canto, após um longo processo que a família moveu contra o Estado português que tentou apropriar-se indevidamente deste imóvel. Neste museu existem muitas peças doadas por variadíssimas famílias micaelenses, para além de um óptima coleção etnográfica e uma coleção natural e mineral. Ao nível da escultura merece destaque as obras de Ernesto Canto da Maia, destacado mestre micaelense que viveu grande parte da sua vida em Paris e faleceu em S. Miguel. Também merece particular interesse as obras de Domingos Rebelo que têm um sentido muito particular para os açorianos em virtude de retratarem aspectos particulares da vivência do povo destas ilhas, em geral, e dos micaelenses, em particular. Integrada no convento temos a igreja de Santo André, que apesar de pequena, apresenta aspectos decorativos muito interessantes. Esta igreja esteve aberta ao culto até aos anos oitenta do século passado e era onde se realizavam as missas de corpo presente de muitos dos soldados mortos na guerra colonial, porém, a partir da referida década, foi encerrada ao culto. Presentemente núcleo do Museu Carlos Machado, que se encontra no Convento de Santo André, está encerrado. Como recentemente foram abertas dois novos núcleos, Santa Bárbara e Igreja do Colégio, passou a haver alguma actividade associada a este museu. Estranhamente um museu que tem algumas coleções muito interessantes, está praticamente fechado. Este facto é muito negativo porque impede os locais de poderem ver algumas peças que retratam o seu imaginário como povo e de impedirem os visitantes destas ilhas de poderem ver aquilo que qualquer visitante procura quando faz uma deslocação a um local em férias. Atendendo a que têm sido investidos milhões de euros na recuperação do património, não se compreende porque razão o principal museu de Ponta Delgada, continua...

If you don't know what to do with your child when it rains, this museum is a very good idea. It contains many naturalistic relics: stuffed animals (among which a huge scaring white shark, sunfishes, a young spermwhale, strange creatures from the abyss, stuffed priolos, a calf with two heads, cows, a panther, lots of birds etc...) and bones of dolphins and spermwhales. There is also a room dedicated to the geology and history of the island, a room dedicated to rocks, another one to insects and invertebrates. If you like stuffed animals and skeletons and you visit Rome (Italy) don't miss the "Museo Civico di Zoologia" next to...

Nice museum in an old monastery. The museum is slightly bigger than it seems, but is still relatively small. You could spend a couple of hours here, if you're really into it. We were a bit in a rush, so we could spend only 45 minutes, which allows for a decent visit still.

They have an enormous collection of stuffed animals and skeletons of maritime life. Also some good info on the history of the Azores.

Entrance fee was only 2 euro p.p.: a real bargain. They have lockers that you can use free of charge.

If you enjoy an occasional museum visit, you are in the neighborhood and you have time, this is...

One of the weirdest museums l have ever visited in Europe- the taxidermy section is in the usual unfashionable display cabinets and all exhibits rather disgusting, especially the false eyes and teeth. However, they do add a bit of humour to this morbid collection and the freaky disabled calves are a rare sight. The rest of the museum is the convent which has a beautiful chapel with a spectacular wooden carved alter. For anyone wishing to visit this alongside the other 2 local Carlos Machado museums you can get a reduction- a mere 3€ for all 3, so go to all.
