Municipal Ecomuseum of Seixal, on its 42nd anniversary, joins, once again, the celebration of International Museum Day on May 18th, between 10 am and 8 pm, this year under a deep reflection of its role in society, especially linked to education and research, with the theme “Museums, Education and Research”.
«It has been 42 years of investigating, documenting and disseminating testimonies of the history of people and this territory. The Seixal Municipal Ecomuseum is fundamental to preserving our collective memory and for new generations to have knowledge of what was done in Seixal and what was the basis of economic development. Knowing the basis of this collective memory, they are better able to build the future», highlights the president of the Seixal City Council, Paulo Silva.
The ecomuseum’s program for International Museum Day 2024 and its 42nd anniversary aims to attract people of different ages and tastes and will feature the collaboration of several partners.
