Iberian Museum of the Mask and the Costume
Discover one of the most emblematic traditions of Trás-os-Montes
A visit to the museum allows the traveller to come in contact with the diversity of masks and costumes worn in the region festivals, showing the culture of mistery and magic that is still very much alive in the soul of its people.
The origins of this festivities date back to ancient pagan days, when a new cycle of nature was celebrated in the winter solstice. The diabolical figures, connection between the beastly world and the human world, celebrate a renewed time and the approach of spring.
The museum provides information on dates and locations of each festival, inviting you to return to the region in the winter months, to discover the fantastic universe of these festivities.
