We spotted this when closed but noted the weekend opening hours and made a plan to return. Thoughtfully and lovingly curated by fanatics of cycling, we really enjoyed the exhibition on the first floor of he museum which overlooks the park of Caldas. Some of our family are cycling enthusiasts but most of us aren’t and yet we all enjoyed its great collection of memorabilia, posters, life stories and medals/awards as well as original bikes. As the non-cycling enthusiast, my favourite was a Hanseatic trike for grown ups!!

The National Wine Museum occupies the old winery that was built in 1896 by Jose Eduardo Raposo Magalhaes to develop wine production in the region. A distinguished native of Alcobaca, he, more than anyone, was responsible for the progresso and reputation achieved by wine-growing in the town. He used the latest technology to build his winery and we can still see it today.

On the surface it may not be impressive, but the substance of its collection of wine production equipment, infrastucture, artifacts and memorabilia is absolutely astonishing. The guided tour was entertaining and informative - a great learning experience for wine enthusiasts and wine professionals alike.

We went into the museum unsure of what we would find but we were immediately blown away. To the right there was an exhibition of all kinds of cameras (mostly old), of all shapes and sizes which was fascinating. To the left there were countless interactive gadgets that we experiment with and use to explore all the ways images can be displayed. And in the top floor there was a really cool photography exhibition as well. It was so much fun! And the best part? We went on Sunday so it was free ????????????????????????
