Sociedade Martins Sarmento, Cultural institution in Guimarães, Portugal.

The Sociedade Martins Sarmento operates from a building with Gothic cloisters and gardens of the former Convent of São Domingos, completed in 1967.

Founded in 1881, the institution established its archaeological museum in 1885 with artifacts from excavations at Citânia de Briteiros and Castro de Sabroso sites.

The institution maintains a library of nearly 100,000 volumes, including documents from the 12th century and the Foral de Guimarães from 1507.

The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Saturday between 9:30 and 12:00, then 14:00 to 17:00, with different hours on Sundays.

The society received recognition as Honorary Member of the Order of Prince Henry in 2005 and Grand Officer of the Military Order of Saint James in 1931.
