Educational activities
The Museum goes to the Children's Workshop
MÉRTOLA MUSEUM
Museums are spaces open to everyone, dynamic and inclusive, which aim to train and inform. They carry out important work aimed at the communities in which they are part of, seeking to raise awareness about the importance of knowledge of heritage, which belongs to everyone and must be preserved for future generations.
The Mértola Cláudio Torres Museum has always developed work with different audiences, with a strong focus on children and young people, and within the scope of partnerships with local institutions.
We carried out an action with the Children’s Workshop of Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Mértola, which resulted in an Exhibition of the work developed by the children and which we invited you to visit.

The Museum goes to the Fair
Establishing contact with the local community has always been one of the main goals of the Mértola Museum. In this context, and with the goal of achieving greater proximity while knowing that people don’t always visit the Museum.
Guided Tours / Theme-based routes
Due to the fact that it is divided into various units that cover different themes and time periods, the Mértola Museum allows creating a variety of routes that meet the interest and knowledge of different audiences.
Guided tours
Museums by themselves are facilities that must act as repositories of the identity of the people and the territory, and, therefore, first and foremost, their educational services should develop initiatives aimed at the local population.
Thematic workshops
The Mértola Museum, in collaboration with the Campo Arqueológico de Mértola, annually holds several thematic workshops aimed at schools in the municipality of Mértola.
