The Museu da Cerâmica Vieira is a charming museum located in the village of Lagoa on the island of São Miguel in the Azores archipelago. It is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the rich tradition of pottery-making on the island, which dates back to the 16th century.


The museum is housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century factory, which was once the centre of the pottery industry in Lagoa. It features a range of exhibits, including examples of traditional Azorean pottery, antique tools and equipment used in the pottery-making process, and works by contemporary ceramic artists.


Visitors to the Museu da Cerâmica Vieira can learn about the history and techniques of Azorean pottery-making, as well as the cultural significance of ceramics to the people of the island. The museum also offers hands-on workshops and demonstrations, where visitors can try their hand at making their own pottery.
