The Museum of Tavira – Islamic Nucleus and Almóada Neighborhood (Tavira) is one of the institutions that will be made known in the new documentary series “In Search of the Unknown Museum”, whose first season starts on November 11th, on RTP3.
The series, which has a partnership with the Directorate-General for Cultural Heritage (DGPC) and makes known institutions that are part of the Portuguese Museum Network, was authored by journalists Margarida Metello and Sofia Leite.
The first season of “In Search of the Unknown Museum” shows the public 17 institutions of the 156 that make up the Portuguese Museum Network, which brings together museum institutions with different tutelages.
With weekly broadcast on RTP3, “In Search of the Unknown Museum” runs through the mosaic of Portuguese heritage that these museums represent, from Archeology, Plastic Arts, Ethnography and History to Industrial and Intangible Heritage, from north to south of the Continent and in the Autonomous Regions .
The institutions of the Portuguese Museum Network participating in the first season of this documentary series are: Museu da Luz (Aldeia da Luz, Évora), Casa de Camilo (Famalicão, Braga), Wool Museum (Covilhã, Castelo Branco), Casa Colombo – Museum of Porto Santo (Porto Santo, Madeira), Museum of Portuguese Music (Cascais, Lisbon), Museum of Tavira – Islamic Nucleus and Bairro Almoada (Tavira, Faro), Cupertino de Miranda Foundation Museum (Famalicão, Braga), Barroso Ecomuseum – Montalegre and Boticas (Vila Real), Casa do Arcano – Ribeira Grande Museum (Ribeira Grande, São Miguel, Azores), Porto Hospital Center Museum ( Porto), Casa Grande Museum (Freixo de Numão, Guarda), Elvas Military Museum (Elvas, Portalegre), Santa Maria Paper Museum (Santa Maria da Feira, Aveiro), Funchal Sacred Art Museum (Funchal , Madeira), Museum of Prehistoric and Sacred Art in the Tagus Valley (Mação, Santarém), Geological Museum (Lisbon) and Space-Museum and Villa Romana do Rabaçal (Rabaçal, Coimbra).
It is the DGPC – through the Department of Museums, Conservation and Accreditation (DMCC) and the Museum and Accreditation Division (DMC) – that is responsible for articulating and supporting the Portuguese Network of Museums, for cooperation between them, encouraging the transversality of initiatives and communication and supporting the training, information/dissemination and qualification of these museums. DGPC is also responsible for the accreditation of museums that intend to join this Network.
This partnership between DGPC and RTP appears in the same year that the ProMuseus program is reactivated, which is aimed at all RPM entities and grants funding through a competition, and whose objectives are to qualify and preserve the cultural heritage, and improve the provision of services to the public.
