Pimenta Palace

Temporary exhibition with works in reserve at the Museum of Lisbon.

Almost a hundred objects of exceptional quality which, for various reasons, are kept away from the public eye, will be exhibited with the aim of encouraging the discovery of a less obvious Lisbon.

This is a journey in which the feminine was loud and clear.

The emancipation of women was one of April's greatest achievements. The right to universal suffrage was won, professional horizons broadened and many barriers imposed on the female universe fell. However, in previous times, many women broke down barriers and fought for their independence and affirmation in society.

This route reveals Lisbon's religious past, which is plural and complex and still visible in urban geography and collective memory.

Lisbon has always been a city of encounters and also of diverse beliefs. This thematic guided tour of the long-term exhibition at the Museum of Lisbon - Palácio Pimenta explores the presence and circulation of religious communities over the centuries: Jews, New Christians, Muslims, Protestants, among others.

Using objects, documents and historical episodes, we'll reflect on how migrations and political contexts shaped a city where different faiths coexisted, resisted and were sometimes persecuted.

In this creative and charming workshop, kids and adults will create paper dolls with clothes worthy of the Chiado shop windows.

Call on the little stylists and the big dreamers!

With paper fabrics, lace designs and extravagant hats, we'll explore the fashions of yesteryear while bringing to life stylish characters who could very well parade through the streets of Lisbon - poses and all!

An activity for families with lots of style and hands ready to cut out, glue and let their imagination run wild. In the end, each doll will take away a bit of Madame Burnay's glamour... and perhaps a sewing secret!

In a fun way, we'll learn about the importance of insects in the city, promoting richer and more sustainable ecosystems.

Look how generous the tree is: it asks nothing in return, it gives everything from the moment it is born until it falls asleep. And while one tree sleeps, another awakens: here we are, ready for discovery.

Between books and the gardens of the Lisbon Museum - Palácio Pimenta, children enjoy their first contact with nature, taking their first steps towards an ecologically conscious life, with respect for the ecosystems that coexist in Lisbon.

Stories for Babies is a literary, cultural and artistic mediation project for babies and children up to the age of 3. These meetings are based on books chosen especially for early childhood with the aim of promoting a relationship with the book-object and the free exploration of materials that appeal to the senses, as well as interaction between the participants, creating bonds of empathy.

The Cultura Educa project was created in 2018 by Ana Sofia Nunes.
