Christmas lights have invaded the Bread Museum and the Christmas spirit promises to invade the hearts of visitors. Even with the cold weather in Serra da Estrela, at the Bread Museum the atmosphere is now even more cozy and the perfect setting to create special memories with family and friends, while exploring the history and tradition of bread through visits and activities in the studio.

The Bread cycle rooms, with moving millstones and agricultural implements, and the Hérmios room where moving dolls explain the bread cycle in an educational and captivating way, continue to be the most popular. But this Christmas there are even more reasons to visit the Bread Museum:
