House Museums range from castle to cottages, from all periods. The interpretation of house museums includes historic, architectural, cultural, artistic and social information.
DEMHIST
Designed by architect Fiel Viterbo, the construction of this large residence started in 1923 and was completed in 1925. Built on two floors, in an eclectic style with strong hints of Portuguese Joanine Baroque, it is crowned with a large and very beautiful octagonal tower, elegantly fenestrated..
The collection fits the home environment and is directed to a personal and social life, always headed by a criterion of excellence and a prime foray into some specific areas such as watches and China porcelain.

Interpretation is neither facts nor literary fiction, but revelation through information.
