The name of Manuel Castelo Ramos will always be linked to the Cork Museum, of which he was director when it won the Luigi Micheletti award for best industrial museum of the year, in 2001.
the museum is closed since 2009, but Manuel Castelo Ramos always fought for its reopening.
Another aspect that earned him notoriety was that of teaching.

We will always remember him for his availability and readiness to help everyone».
