    An excellent experience and a pleasant surprise. This museum is a living museum in which the space, the exhibition, the machines, the utensils function and allow us to go back to its time and to the many arts performed by men and women who worked in these factories, with ingenuity and a lot of effort to produce the paper, cardboard and bags. Thank you to the employees who lead this magnificent experience with professionalism, dedication, knowledge and friendliness.

    Excellent location and landscape, an exceptional learning experience about paper production in the region. A true lesson in local history and the past told by Mrs. Cristina on site. I highly recommend the visit. The place is accessible and has plenty of parking at the door.

  • 5/5 Cristina B. 2 months ago on Google • 177 reviews New
    Very interesting museum, which very well depicts all phases of paper manufacturing, both manually and mechanically. In this space, we can observe many machines that still work, hear testimonies from papermakers with many years of experience (in a short video) and have a little experience as a papermaker, making a sheet of paper from scratch. I highly recommend your visit not only for the space itself, but also for the friendliness of its staff.

  • 4/5 Michael T. 10 years ago on Google
    It sounds like an odd thing to go and see but the Paper Museum is actually really interesting. It's a very well put-together display and there's some interactivity where you can make your own paper. Children seem to really enjoy this. Although it's been created in an original mill, it's quite modern and the design is nice.

  • 5/5 Cátia S. 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    We loved the experience. For just €1.5/person, we had the opportunity to learn a little about the history of paper in Portugal: old factories, how the processes worked and even see many machines from the time. Super friendly and attentive staff. It's really good that these types of initiatives and spaces exist to preserve our history, which is so rich. We recommend it 100%.
