Museu do Som e da Imagem
The Museum of Sound and Image was born out of the need to preserve the important old Avenida Theatre, which has been owned by the local authority since 1999. Of all the pieces in this museum, some were donated or deposited by various institutions and private collectors.
This museum is spread over seven different rooms, with various interactive sections, dedicated in order to the first theatre in Vila Real (1846), the Circus Theatre (1892), the Avenida Theatre (1930) and the history of photography, cinema and temporary exhibitions.
It has an educational service and an audiovisual archive available inside, and frequently develops various initiatives as part of its complementary programme. This programme ranges from publishing publications to showing films and hosting contemporary artistic projects.
