The story takes place over the centuries and it is necessary to preserve it and that's why the ARCA (Cultural Recreational Association of Arcozelo), result of the dedication for many years to the defense of popular culture, traditions and customs of the past, pioneer of many initiatives, of long associative journeys undertaken in Moimenta da Beira Municipality, had to develop and promote cultural heritage, for that it created an Ethnographic Museum. It recreated a unique and typical environment of rural life from the inside, in a ruined house that had acquired and where did a faithful reconstruction of a farm house of the end of the XVIII century, beginning of the XIX century, where nothing is lacking, from the pork store, the store of cows, store grain, cellar, typical kitchen, small rooms characteristic of the time with the beds that were no more than simple easels, where it overlapped some boards and put the "enxerga" - straw mattress, all made by original design and preserved as the rules that require authenticity and the rugged beauty of stone and wood.
The Ethnographic Museum of Arcozelo da Torre is a permanent exhibition, where the objects and tradition are still what they were and are as instruments to study the identity of the region in a context of humble Earth, which exalts the Man, but also the art.
