Fodor's Expert Review Museu Ibérico da Máscara e do Traje

If you can't make your visit to the region coincide with one of the festivals in which local lads wearing wooden masks roam the streets, the Museu Ibérico da Máscara e do Traje is definitely worth a visit. A joint Portuguese-Spanish initiative, it has displays on the celebrations in villages across Trás-os-Montes and across the border in Zamora. The many costumes on show are riotously colorful and the masks strikingly carved. Information in English is available.
