Popularly known as the "Cork Museum", the Santa Maria de Lamas Museum, founded by Henrique Amorim (1902-1977), is a special case in the history of 20th century Portuguese museography. The unique collection, reorganised since 2004, displays Sacred Art; Portuguese Statuary; Ethnography; Natural Sciences; Cork Sculpture and derivatives (20th century); and Industrial Archaeology, highlighting the potential of this raw material and reflecting the local community’s identity.
