The Faro Municipal Museum includes a significant archaeological collection, with various objects from prehistory and the Roman and medieval times.
Some of the most relevant objects are a mosaic from the 2nd/3rd centuries, imperial busts of Hadrian and Agrippina and a collection of epigraphs by Ossonoba.
It also includes a collection of paintings from the 16th to the 19th centuries, composed mainly of religious specimens that once belonged to Algarve temples and a painting from the 20th century by Carlos Porfírio about the legends of the Algarve.
This museum was created in 1894, on the 5th centenary of the birth of Infante D. Henrique.
