Portuguese term or phrase: Gabinete de Imagem
This is an office which, is in the Museu de Marinha in the Jerónimos in Belém.

Am not sure what they do there ?photocopying, contains photos? I´ve been to the Museu but not to the Gabinete de Imagem! Does anyone know how to translate this department in to English?

Many thanks in advance.

Explanation:
Sue, did you try Googling this term at all? On the very first page of results, I found these two random results. Take the time to look at the web pages:

http://www.ua.pt/fjjm/PageText.aspx?id=1119
Fundação João Jacinto de Magalhães – Gabinete de Imagem (too long to quote)

“Incumbe ao Gabinete de Imagem e Comunicação o tratamento de todas as questões respeitantes à imagem e relações públicas do Instituto e unidades orgânicas nele integradas.
(n.º 4 do art. 7.ºA, dos Estatutos do Instituto Politécnico de Leiria)”
http://www.ipleiria.pt/portal/ipleiria?p_id=8472

These are the activities of a public relations department, sometimes now called an image and communication department, or corporate communication department.

Good luck!
