Museu do Pico - Museu dos Baleeiros
The architectural set of the Whaling Museum is made up of boathouses from the last century, an attached blacksmith's tent and the space where the library and archive are located. Opened in 1988, it aims to preserve the memory of an activity that marked Azorean life - whaling art. It includes exhibits of pieces crafted from ivory teeth and a whaling canoe, used in whale hunting.
