The '''Portuguese Historical Museum''' in [[San Jose, California]], [[United States|USA]] opened in 1997 and is a replica of the first permanent ''império'' (religious and cultural buildings primarily in the [[Azores]]) originally built in San Jose's [[Little Portugal, San Jose|Little Portugal]] district, c. 1915. It is one of the featured attractions within [[History Park at Kelley Park]].

Exhibits start with [[Portugal]] as it was during the period of [[European colonization of the Americas]] and Portuguese immigration throughout the world, and it then narrows the focus to Portuguese immigration to the United States, then to [[California]], and finally settling in the [[Santa Clara Valley]].
