Today it brings together archaeology, ethnography, numismatics and art in a collection that reflects both the coast and the interior of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A museum shaped by an archaeologist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Santos Rocha was a pioneer of Portuguese archaeology, and the objects he gathered formed the basis of the municipal museum. Over the decades the collections have grown to include local and regional finds, along with paintings, sculpture and decorative arts.<\/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>Archaeological collections from the Figueira da Foz area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ethnography and objects of daily life from the region.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Painting, sculpture and decorative arts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Numismatics and other specialist collections.<\/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 in the centre of Figueira da Foz, a short walk from the waterfront.
