The Museum’s long-term exhibition presents to the visitors, on the -1 floor an archaeological exhibit with traces found here. On floor 0, the memorial to the political prisoners and the building’s history; on floor 1, the characterization of the Portuguese dictatorial regime (1926-1974), its means of repression and oppression (the Censorship, the police and the political courts). On floor 2, the resistance of the oppositions (semi-legal and clandestine), prison, torture, isolation cells. On floor 3, the anti-colonial struggle and the independence movements of liberation, the overthrow of the dictatorship and the 25th of April 1974.

Na manhã do dia 25 de Abril de 1974, Ana Hatherly contrariou as recomendações para que “os habitantes de Lisboa se conservassem nas suas casas” e, como tantas pessoas, saiu à rua e fotografou o pulsar, a surpresa, a alegria, a celebração da liberdade.

Revolutions by Uliano Lucas is the story of a journey made of several journeys. Curated by Elisa Alberani, Miguel Cardina and Vincenzo Russo.

A tribute to the generation of fathers and mothers born in the 1930s who, without seeking a place in history, political or any other kind of protagonism, never resigned, risked their lives, went to prison, went into exile, and were persecuted so that we can live today in a better country.
