Museu do Trajo de São Brás de Alportel, Costume museum in São Brás de Alportel, Portugal.
The Museu do Traje de São Brás de Alportel is a costume museum housed in a historic building in the Algarve region. Its rooms display traditional garments, accessories, and textile-making tools from different periods, with focus on fabrics and sewing crafts.
The building was a private residence during the 19th century when cork processing brought wealth to the town. Its conversion into a museum decades later responded to the growing need to document and preserve local craft traditions for future generations.
The displays show clothing styles that people in this region wore and how these pieces fit into daily life. The collections reflect the craft traditions that shaped how communities expressed themselves through dress over generations.
The exhibition spaces are manageable and work well for a visit during morning or afternoon hours. The layout is ground-level and easy to walk through, with clear pathways between the different display sections.
The museum preserves not just finished garments but also the tools and materials used to create them. This allows visitors to understand the entire process from raw materials to the final wearable pieces.
