A Guided Visit to the National Treasures from the Soares dos Reis National Museum collection is proposed for the late afternoon of August 17th, at 6 pm, in another session of the Quintas fora d’horas cycle. Free entry.
Registration here.
The Soares dos Reis National Museum has a set of 10 pieces classified as assets of national interest, also called National Treasures. A classification attributed to objects of undeniable national value for their antiquity, authenticity, creativity, exemplarity, memory, originality, rarity or uniqueness.
This Guided Tour is therefore an excellent opportunity to tour the galleries of the Museum’s new Long Term Exhibition, paying particular attention to the most important works.
