Encouraging the sharing and appreciation of our heritage and raising awareness of its history and diversity are the objectives of this initiative, which makes a piece of its collection public on a monthly basis.
The exhibition potential of the Camões Secondary School heritage is enormous, allowing for multiple approaches. Studies can be carried out from a building or a space, an object or a set of objects (books, manuscripts, photographs, maps, paintings, sculptures, pieces associated with a celebration or a testimony, specimens of natural history, instruments scientific studies associated with a discipline, among others to consider). Thus, based on experience and direct contact with tangible and intangible goods, the OBJECT # activity is geared towards carrying out a cultural action, both in the context of formal and informal education, involving the community in its different processes of appropriation and valuing the school's HERITAGE.
