Museu do Volfrâmio

Memory of many who worked there.

Rich in history, geology of the region and country, worth a visit, very good

Excellent museum with staff always ready to help. Tasteful exhibition with unique pieces. I recommend.

Interesting to know the race to tungsten. Good photo report. I highlight the model with the location of the mines.

Well organized, simple to understand and with a lot of recent history.

A space of Culture that allows to remember the exploitation of the tungsten, whose activity was of great importance for Cerva.

Home to the Wolfram Museum, mining has been an important activity throughout the centuries, within the territory of Ribeira de Pena. Several tin mines show the extraction of this metal from ancient peoples. But the extraction of Wolfram, which, at the beginning of the twentieth century, has seen a special increase here with the establishment of exploration societies in Padroselos, in the parish of Santa Marinha and mainly in the Couto Minas de Adoria in the parish of Cerca and Limões. With them came the transformation of the landscape, the economy, the consumption habits that today echo in the memories of the community and the ruins of the mining structures. The Wolfram Museum in the old building of the house of the town of Cerva presents itself as a pole of interpretation of the history associated with the golden age of Wolfram, whose memory is deeply rooted in local memory. It gathers a collection of material heritage that allows the visitor to walk through the evolution of the earth and the relationship between man and minerals, then to know in particular the Wolfram, to understand the importance it brought to the Society and to know the history and memories associated with it. , establishing itself as a point of connection to the Couto Mineiro de Adoria.
