This museum is a must see if you spend some time in Portimao. It puts in display in a magnificent way the strategic importance of the sardine fisheries and processing had for this beautiful town. As well, it reminds us the key role this Portuguese fishery had on feeding the world with this great little fish. Very interesting visit.

If you like museums, go to visit this one. Really interesting, shows the history of Portimao and region and it strong connection to sardine finish/canning. I believe entrance was 3 Euro, definitely wort it if you are interest in the region you are visiting.

Beautiful activity to do not miss when in Portimão. Display is very interesting and I definitely recommend it. Upstairs we found Beautiful photographs from around the area. I recommend. It was also very cheap I paid only 2euro for adult and 1euro for 15 years old child.

You may think..."A sardine industry museum...no thanks...." This is an outstanding museum, state of the art, great exhibitry, fun and interesting. Be sure to watch the film. There is also an art gallery upstairs.

Fascinating museum. Bit sceptical at visiting a museum about sardine production, but it was very cheap entry so we gave it a go. Absolutely brilliant- really well presented exhibition. Interesting videos showing the production process. Production hall really captured the process. Well worth a visit.

OMG - this was the most amazing unexpected experience of a lifetime! So authentic and so much history and information, from roman artifacts, to the history of the sardine! I loved it and stayed way longer than I even imagined could have been of interest! but it was fascinating!
