The Palmela Municipal Library was opened in 1990, occupying the S. João schools building in Palmela.

The Municipal Museum of Palmela is a set of museum spaces, the most important of which is the Castle Nucleus which, in itself, comprises four zones: Archaeological Space (in situ reading of the history of the fortification), Medieval Occupation and Reconquista, Casa Capelo (history of Palmela and the Order of Santiago) and Military Broadcast Space. In addition to this nucleus, the S. Tiago Visitable Reserve, the Church of Santiago and the Wine and Vine Center are also open to the public — as a permanent exhibition.

This museum consists of a completely closed box, which aims to establish a certain parallel with a music box. Visitors have the opportunity to enter this large “music box”, travel through time, explore and listen with great curiosity to hundreds of mechanical instruments, distributed across five exhibition galleries, arranged around a central courtyard.

Here one can read and borrow papers and magazines, monographies, audiovisual documents and multimedia that belong to the adult and children/youngsters areas. There are computers and reading sessions.
