Inaugurated in 1964, the Historical Museum of Vista Alegre was the materialization of a project that had been planned since the beginning of production at the Vista Alegre factory. It was, however, under the direction of Gustavo Ferreira Pinto Basto, administrator between 1881 and 1921, which they began systematically accumulating objects that were to be found dispersed around the firm’s outbuildings, and organized to his particular brief.
The first structures emerged around 1922, although the Museum, as a physical and intellectual space, only appeared organized and open to the public in the 1960’s. By 2001 it was subjected to a thorough re-modeling and modernization of the spaces and contents, in an effort to bring the collection closer to the public.
