Fundado a 15 de outubro de 1894, em resultado da junção do espólio arqueológico depositado na Câmara Municipal e de doações do padre Matos Galamba e de Joaquim Correia Batista, o Museu Municipal de Alcácer do Sal é, sem dúvida, um dos mais antigos do País. O renovado Museu Municipal Pedro Nunes foi inaugurado a 6 de abril de 2019.

Museum of Labor Michel Giacometti. Three permanent exhibitions: Towards the People: national ethnographic collection of agricultural and rural labor instruments, gathered during the Student Civic Service under the orientation of Michel Giacometti | Canning Industry: The construction of this exhibition was a participative process that started in the 90’s, involving dozens of ancient workers from this industry, who freely gave their testimonies and knowledge, allowing the inclusion, and central necessity, of the oral perspective | Mercearia Liberdade: a centenarian grocery store, from Lisbon, was completely reconstructed in the inside of the museum. Other services: Monthly temporary exhibitions, Intercultural Evenings, Educational Service and Center of Memories.

The main purpose of the Ciencia Viva Centres Network is to spread scientific and technological culture among the wider Portuguese public. The Ciencia Viva Centres are dynamic places of learning and fun, where scientific curiosity and the desire to learn are stimulated. In the Lousal Ciencia Viva Centre we invite you to make a time travel and go back to the period when the Lousal mine was still active, when ores that have formed millions of years ago were mined out from this mine by thousands of miners. In this place these people have fed dreams and wishes, have loved and saw their children grow, have taken care of their old relatives. Today, it is future again, it is a land reinvented by the will of many people and sustained by the richest ore: Knowledge. Lousal, forever Lousal.
