The Quinta das Cruzes Museum commemorated once again the European Night of Museums (May 14) and the International Museum Day (May 18), whose theme was Museums and Memory: objects tell their story.
Overall, in these two days, plus the extension of educational activities on 19 and 20 May, we had a total of 950 visitors who participated in the organized activities, outstanding among them an increasing share of young audiences.

Between the 16th and 18th of May the Quinta das Cruzes Museum had many activities related with the commemorations of the Night of the Museums and International Museum Day.

The exhibition The Maios and spring in the Portuguese Jewellery aims to establish the confrontation between traditional Madeiran May Necklaces and jewelry pieces from the collection of the Quinta das Cruzes Museum, where the flower is a structuring element.

At the end of the night we had a draw and the winners will receive products from our shop. See the result.

On February 1st the Quinta das Cruzes Museum inaugurated the temporary exhibition “A Donation – Teresa e Altino Pinto Magalhães” which seeks to disseminate a series of 33 paintings included in the Museum estate, donated by General Altino Pinto Magalhães.

Within the commemorations of the International Day of the Museums, 18th of May, the Museum Quinta das Cruzes, organizes a Cultural Gincana, between 10.00 and 12.30 a.m., subordinate to “Museums and Tourism”, with the participation of the school of São Filipe and of the Externato Júlio Dinis.
The International Day of the Museums, an initiative of the ICOM, has this year the subject “Museums and Tourism”.

As part of the celebrations of the International Museum Day, the Quinta das Cruzes Museum will have, in addition to guided tours (11.00 a.m. and 03.00 p.m.), some activities designed for school audiences, focusing on stories surrounding some of the collections.
