Amazing place
We heard about it before we came to Horta, Faial island, Azores. As it was raining it was a perfect time to visit. As we were a group we received an explanation on how it all started and what is rickshaw art. We all found it fascinating and after the explanations we walker around the many exhibits.

Historic ivory
This is an amazing cafe and museum to visit. The cafe holds a welcome for any visitors and has its own unique and interesting decor. The museum, entered through the cafe, houses a wonderful collection of ivory spanning several centuries. The carvings of the exhibits are exquisite and well worth a visit. The staff are welcoming and very pleased to practice their good English.

Great art, but really strange tour
The scrimshaw art itself was highly interesting and faszinating. Somewhat strange was however the 'guided tour' in the Museum. Instead of telling some anecdotes about the single pieces - which might be the actual idea of presenting such a collection - the lady talked endlessness about the history of the owners. Somehow appeared like a veneration of saints...
