Madeira Story Centre, History museum in Santa Maria Maior, Portugal.

The Madeira Story Centre explores the island's history through exhibits covering volcanic origins, discoveries, hydroplanes, and historical pirate attacks to present day.

The museum building was transformed from the former Cinema Santa Maria, one of Funchal's oldest theaters, and opened its doors in April 2005.

The exhibition spaces present the development of Madeira through different chronological periods, incorporating regional traditions, trade routes, and maritime influences.

The museum opens daily from 9:00 to 19:00, offering guided tours, a craft shop with regional products, and a restaurant that seats 200 people.

The center incorporates gardens displaying Madeira's native plants, providing visitors with direct exposure to local flora while learning about island history.
