WOW - Planet Cork
Museums & Thematic Centres
Portugal is the largest producer of cork on the planet, accounting for more than 50% of global production and taking advantage of over 1,800 acres of forest land. Visitors will learn everything from the ancestral exploration of the cork oak to the most varied and avant-garde applications, from traditional wine stoppers to the innovative aerospace industry.
At Planet Cork, visitors will be greeted by the presence of a stunning replica of a giant cork tree. The experience is fully interactive and invites the discovery of the most diverse uses of cork, including a catwalk showcasing different fashion styles using the material.
Cork is a unique 100% plant-based product that gives rise to a highly sustainable industry. No material developed in the laboratory by man can replicate the unique properties of cork and this is the key message of the entire journey through Planet Cork.
