The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) covers the 110 years of history of Instituto Superior Técnico, through its past, present and future objects.
A collection of objects related to different fields, such as science, music, arts and sports, is the starting point for conversations with people who will tell us more about the history of these objects.
A new episode is released every week. The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) is part of the Público newspaper podcasts.
Today’s episode (#37) – 11th March 2022: “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) – The Freiberg mining models.
Alfredo Bensaude, the first director of Técnico, brought more than 50 mining models from the late 19th century, from Germany to Portugal. These mining models spent decades at Técnico – Alameda campus, and were essential for students to understand the underground mining process. These replicas are made up of removable parts that allow a three-dimensional visualisation, which was a teaching potential at the time. Currently, they are displayed at Centro Ciência Viva do Lousal (in a natural mining complex, which was active from 1900 to 1988). One of the models was left at Técnico Geosciences Museums.
