About This Museum

People come to the Museu Marítimo de Ílhavo from all over, not just for the history, but to feel a connection to the sea that has always defined this place. The heart of it all is the stunning 'Faina Maior' exhibit, which tells the epic and often harsh story of the men who fished for cod in the icy waters of Newfoundland. You can't miss the Aquário dos Bacalhaus, a vast tank where these majestic fish, the true heroes of our story, glide silently right before your eyes. In the end, you leave with more than just facts; you carry with you a profound respect for the courage and sacrifice of an entire community.

Collection Highlights

The 'Faina Maior' exhibit with its full-scale dory and gripping narratives of cod fishermen, and the breathtaking Aquário dos Bacalhaus where you can watch live cod swim.
