Preservation State
The Museum lies in a restored building of the 18th century and, to define methodologies and strategies for this project, some experts from several domains (museum curators, archaeologists, historians, geologists, palaeontologists, architects, engineers, designers and sculptors) were invited to contribute towards the selection, collection, study, inventory, enhancement and preservation of the collections.
Notes
This museum consists of archaeological artefacts collected from diggings from prehistoric and Roman sites, in the municipality. It holds paleontological findings from the local stone quarries, ornaments made from "pedra de Ançã?, religious statuary from churches and chapels from the city and the tools used in their construction. The temporary exhibitions are also very important as they allow visitors to come into contact with contemporary sculptural production.
