The XXII National Museum Week takes place from 13 to 19 May, which this year has the theme “Museums, training and research”. The Itu Republican Museum will carry out three different activities during this period, for two days.
The first of these will be the inauguration of the exhibition “Os Tiles from there and from here”, which will present the work developed by the participants of the workshop cycle “Tilemaking: Techniques and Stories”, which addressed the history of Portuguese tiles and the composition material of the tiles that make up the decoration of the facade and internal atrium of the Republican Museum.
