FRANÇOISE SCHEIN. From Lisbon to the world

Exhibition of 54 projects for the Parque underground station, by Françoise Schein, who made them a donation to the Museum.

F. Schein applied here a strategy of promotion of the fundamental text of the Human’s Rights, as in others cities’ undergrounds, such as Paris, Berlin and Copenhagen.

Broadening the concept, F. Schein created the INSCRIRE Association acting at the great metropolis of the world, namely the important project she developed at Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, giving a dignified visibility to disfavoured populations and reminding the contemporary society of the essential values of humankind.

Description of the Museum

This is the largest part of the collection, currently numbering 7,271 inventoried pieces that form the natural core of the Museum.
The collection initially came from the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, where some pieces were exhibited in the ceramics section.
In the early 1960s, this collection was moved to the Convent of Madre de Deus under the supervision of João Miguel dos Santos Simões and works from other museums and state institutions were added.
Since then, the collection has continued to expand through acquisitions and donations from individuals and institutions alike.
