We are happy to announce another interesting exhibition. With the Japanese Armor Society, we helped the museum with the research of some unknown but true Treasures from their collection.

Exhibition at Galeria D. Luís | Palácio Nacional da Ajuda
30th November to 26th March
Thurdays to Tuesdays 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
By means of screens, lacquers, cartography, armors, among other rare and fascinating objects, some exhibited for the first time, this exhibition tells the story of the encounter and reunion between Portugal and Japan over five centuries. A story manifest by astonishment and wonder but also by the distrust, with moments of approach, of quarrels, cut of relations and diplomacy. A story which tells as much by the written documentation, as by the material culture, the language, the exchange of the scientific knowledge, the art and the religion.
The exhibition will be open to the public from November 30, 2018 to March 26, 2019, with a catalog in Portuguese and English of 173 pages, with scientific texts, chronology and color images.
