The Association Amigos do Museu de Alberto Sampaio (Friends of the Museu de Alberto Sampaio) is a non-profit juvenile association (Diário da República no. 204, 3rd Series, of 3 September 2001), headquartered in the building of the Museu de Alberto Sampaio, which develops, together with the Museum, several activities, especially, for children.
This association was created due to the need of the Direction of the Museu de Alberto Sampaio to connect, in an organized and institutional way, to young people, to whom the Museum dedicates many of its activities.
The AAMAS is part of the Federação de Amigos dos Museus de Portugal since 2021.
