Machinery, photographs and personal objects bring the working life of the factory and the community back to the visitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From factory to museum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The municipality acquired the former Sao Francisco fish-canning factory in 1996 to preserve an important part of Portimao&#8217;s industrial and maritime history, and the museum opened in the converted building in 2008. Its displays cover the origins and evolution of the community, its territory and its relationship with the river and the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to see<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Portimao: Territory and Identity<\/em>, the museum&#8217;s reference exhibition on the town and its people.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The preserved industrial architecture of the old canning factory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Objects, photographs and documents on fishing, canning and maritime trade.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Temporary exhibitions and cultural events in the museum&#8217;s auditorium.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visiting the museum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The museum is at Rua D.
