Another of the remote antecedents that led to the founding of the museum is reflected from some cultural achievements in Óbidos, namely the Sacred Art Exhibition in 1954 and the Josefa de Óbidos Evocation in 1959, producing an effect of increased expectation with the closure. of the “regional museum”, located in the narrow space of the gothic chapel of S. Martinho, where there was a collection of archeology and architectural fragments, most of which belonged to Lieutenant Colonel Luís Torquato de Freitas Garcia.
