Museu de Fotografia da Madeira – Atelier Vicente's

The country's oldest photography studio, on Rua da Carreira, bought in 1865 by Vicente Gomes da Silva (1827–1906) and active until the 1970s; the Regional Government bought the whole collection in 1979 and opened the museum in 1982 in the restored studio. Sets, cameras, specialised furniture, frames with original photographs, technique manuals and above all an archive of three to four million images since the 1850s — the island's visual memory — plus a cinema section.
