He was a talented potter who managed to make true an old dream: the creation of a Village-Museum with his own work, with the help of his wife Helena. He started the construction in 1954 and it was open for visits in the early 1960's. It can be visited any day of the year, for free - a fascinating experience for kids and adults at Sobreiro, Mafra.
