Celebrating 50 years of freedom, democracy and the march towards independence! On the eve of Portugal National Day, the Camões and Portuguese Communities Day on 10 June, the Nationalmusée is organising an open weekend as part of its exhibition La révolution de 1974. Des rue de Lisbonne à Luxembourg. On Saturday 8 June, we are offering a whole range of themed tours to familiarise visitors with the exhibition, and on Sunday 9 June, there will be music, live entertainment and culinary specialities to celebrate this decisive chapter in European history. Come and enjoy the sound of Grândola and breathe the wind of freedom!
Radio Latina, our Portuguese-language media partner with the weekly journal Contacto, will be broadcasting live from the museum forecourt.
