Created in 1918, the D. Diogo de Sousa Archaeology Museum has been open to the public since June 2007, following renovation works that led to the construction of a new building designed for the most significant archaeological area in the city of Braga.
With a collection that dates back to the first signs of human occupation up to the city's integration into the Roman Empire, the D. Diogo de Sousa Museum is today a reference and a must-see for anyone who wants to know more about Bracara Augusta.
In the permanent exhibition, in addition to objects imported from more or less distant regions of the empire, it is possible to observe how technical innovations influenced the local development of industrial activities linked to the production of ceramic, metal and glass objects, which in turn contributed to the growth of trade and supported major transformations in the field of architecture.
Also noteworthy is the recent “Bühler-Brockhaus Collection”, a donation from Hans-Peter Bühler and Marion Bühler-Brockhaus, comprising around 300 works from classical antiquity and which brings together a wide range of objects from different origins and chronologies, mostly from the Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan and Roman worlds.
