Five years ago, a Memory Museum was created in Matosinhos, dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of the municipality. The museum emerged with the goal of preserving and valuing the historical heritage and experiences of the local community.

The museum's collection is made up of both individual and collective memories, representing a journey through time across the history of the municipality. These testimonies from residents and visitors were collected to form part of a collection intended to be timeless.

The Matosinhos Memory Museum continues to collect testimonies from people connected to the municipality, seeking to keep the identity and history of the territory alive. The initiative aims to ensure that diverse voices and experiences are recorded for future generations.
