    Entrance is free! A fantastic place to be face-to-face with ancient artifacts. You can see and run your fingers in the grooves of stone menirs from the Neolithic times and marble tombstones from Roman era (one tombstone of a 9-year-old roman slave girl, translated to "May the Earth Be Light On You"). Lots of artifacts from the ancient history of the Setúbal area, going back to the Stone Age, Neolithic, Copper, Bronze, Iron...Roman, Moors, .etc. I found the roman fine dinner ware and glasses interesting, hard to imagine how they made such intricate things. The other half of the museum shows the fishing and cannery industrial of Setúbal. Very quiet museum with hardly anyone. About a two-hour visit.

    I was surprised then. Positive. This museum is somewhat inconspicuously located on Luisa Todi. It explains the archaeological aspects of the region in many showcases. But the change over time in daily life is also beautifully explained. Many beautiful ship and workplace models. I didn't have to pay an entrance fee and felt well entertained and informed. You can even walk there for half an hour with children. Everything was nice and friendly at the reception at the entrance.

    It is a cultural space but mainly of memories. Listening to the stories during the visit was like talking about my own... ❤️ I loved. A small museum that becomes grand due to its unique pieces. A heritage that should not be forgotten.
