Técnico owns a very rich museum’s collections that represent the history, identity and culture of engineering in Portugal.

Celebrating the European Year of Cultural Heritage and in order to make known its cultural heritage, Técnico will organise a first meeting on May 18, the International Museum Day, where museum professionals, researchers, as well as students and professors will share their projects around the collections.

The ICOM’s Portuguese committee has chosen the theme “Hyperconnected museums: New approaches, new public” for the International Museum Day 2018.
