    Small museum to visit but if you want something not outdoor and your nearby it is also worth a visit. They have souvenirs and video showing area and voice recordings too. Kids loves the machine exhibitions.

    Great museum. When you think that such a small cap to support so many people, it's incredible. You will discover the history of an entire industry and of a region that lived on cork. It is a very enriching visit.
