Museum of Matches

Tomar has an amazingly impossible to miss, and combustible, display set up in the Convento de São Francisco. This is for matches, matchbooks, and matchboxes, gathered from wherever all through the world and in each size conceivable.

One Belgian case has matched 40 centimeters long. There's a whiff of contemplation at this interest, with the fundamental piece of the shows dating from the inside numerous times of the twentieth century when smoking was the standard.

There are phenomenal books checking events like Queen Elizabeth II's illustrious festival or the USSR sending Yuri Gagarin into space.

Astounding that each one of these pieces was assembled by just a single man, Aquiles da Mota Lima, who offered it to the town in 1980.
