Cascais, 1870-1960: Uma História em Postais

From the late 19th century onwards, postcards circulated across borders as tokens of affection and records of travel, showcasing Cascais’ seaside appeal, its sweeping bay, early grand hotels, and local everyday life to an international audience. Casa Sommer, part of the Bairro dos Museus network, now hosts the documentary exhibition "Cascais, 1870-1960: Uma História em Postais". The exhibition takes visitors through nearly a century of urban, social, and landscape evolution across the municipality, drawing on public and private collections of vintage illustrated postcards. The show is now open to the public and runs until early autumn 2027.
