Convento de São Boaventura
The Flores Museum was created in 1977 by Regional Legislative Decree No. 25/77/A, under the name of the Ethnography House of Flores Island. This designation was maintained until 1991, when it was renamed Flores Museum by Regional Legislative Decree No. 4/91/A. Its founder and first director was João António Gomes Vieira, a native of Flores, who was primarily responsible for conceiving the collections the Museum currently holds. These collections cover themes such as weaving, dairy products, agriculture, livestock, fishing, whaling, navigation, and sacred art. In 1986, it incorporated the Casa Pimentel de Mesquita, where an exhibition dedicated to linen and and wool spinning technology was installed, in addition to furniture from the 18th to 20th centuries. This house museum operated until 2008, when it began to house the Municipal Library. From 1993, the Museum’s headquarters became the old Convent of São Boaventura, where it remains to this day. In addition to this, the Flores Museum also has the Boqueirão Whaling Factory as an annex.

Environmental Interpretation Center of Boqueirão
The Environmental Interpretation Center of Boqueirão was designed within the tanks where whale oil, melted at the Boqueirão Whaling Factory, used to be stored. It is a space dedicated to promoting knowledge about the island’s most environmentally significant locations, with a special focus on marine environments. Here, you can learn about resident and migratory birds, intertidal and water column organisms, cetaceans, and hydrothermal vents. It is a prime location for disseminating scientific knowledge, enriching the experience of those visiting the Natural Park. This Center was included in the Guide to Architecture – South and Islands of Portugal, published in 2011; and in the project "Iberian Architectural Heritage Exhibition – LaMIPA," within the scope of the Lisbon Architecture Triennale 2013 – Close, Closer. It has also been referenced and published on various specialized websites and magazines.
