‘Network and Networks’ meeting <\/b><\/p>\n
M\u00e9rtola – 28 February 2025<\/b><\/p>\n
The ‘Network and Networks’ meeting took place on 28 February in M\u00e9rtola, was the result of a partnership between the Cl\u00e1udio Torres M\u00e9rtola Museum, the Portuguese Museum Network (RPM), which launched the ‘Network and the Networks’ programme, and the Baixo Alentejo Museum Network (RMBA), which held its 7th<\/sup><\/span> Meeting. With 48 participants, the debate approached partnerships and local, regional and national networks, mainly focusing on how the different types of networks coordinate with the RPM.<\/p>\n The welcome session was attended by the Deputy Mayor of M\u00e9rtola, Rosinda Pimenta, the First Secretary CIMBAL – the Intermunicipal Community of Baixo Alentejo, Fernando Romba, the representative of RMBA’s Coordinating Group, Miguel Serra, and RPM’s Coordinator, F\u00e1tima Roque. During the morning there was a visit to the ‘Heritage Centre’, which is in the final stages of construction and represents a new challenge for the M\u00e9rtola Museum, since it is a space that combines the Historical and Municipal Archives and the Museum’s Technical Area, optimising operating space and resources. On the other hand, it will be an important research centre that includes different areas for reserving the collection, a conservation and restoration laboratory, technical work spaces, technical-administrative and research offices, and a multipurpose area where, through a protocol with the M\u00e9rtola Archaeological Site, the specialised libraries donated to this institution by Professors Jos\u00e9 Mattoso and Juan Zozaya will be included. The Heritage Centre is located at Al\u00e9m-Rio, in a complex that includes also the M\u00e9rtola Biological Station and the Biodiversity Gallery. It represents an important effort to rehabilitate the buildings and boost the spirit of the small town, with an exceptional view of the Historic Centre of M\u00e9rtola.<\/p>\n In this context, 4 papers were presented and moderated by F\u00e1tima Roque (RPM): ‘<\/span>Da infinitude, adaptabilidade e territorializa\u00e7\u00e3o das redes de museus<\/i>‘ (On the infinity, adaptability and territorialisation of museum networks), by Clara Camacho (MMP and PNA); ‘<\/span>A Rede de Museus do Baixo Alentejo \u2013 dificuldades e anseios’ (TheBaixo Alentejo Museum Network – difficulties and aspirations), by Miguel Serra representing RMBA’s Coordinating Group; ‘Museus e identidade \u2013 a rela\u00e7\u00e3o com a(s) comunidade(s) e os p\u00fablicos’ (Museums and identity – the relationship with community(ies) and the public), by David Felismino from ICOM Portugal; and, ‘O Museu de M\u00e9rtola Cl\u00e1udio Torres \u2013 que desafios?’ (The Cl\u00e1udio Torres M\u00e9rtola Museum – what challenges?), by L\u00edgia Rafael<\/i>. The debate was interesting and motivating, concluding that the challenges Museums face and the fulfilment of their museological functions can be overcome more effectively and satisfactorily through sharing, the exchange of experiences and good practices, as well as working in collaboration and partnership through the networks. It’s important to mention the attendance of the Algarve Museums Network, a strong inspiration for creating the RMBA, which always collaborates and participates in its thematic meetings with representatives of the RMBA museums and other museum units.<\/span><\/p>\n Thank you All for coming!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ‘Network and Networks’ meeting M\u00e9rtola – 28 February 2025 The ‘Network and Networks’ meeting took place on 28 February in M\u00e9rtola, was the result of a partnership between the Cl\u00e1udio Torres M\u00e9rtola Museum, the Portuguese Museum Network (RPM), which launched the ‘Network and the Networks’ programme, and the Baixo Alentejo Museum Network (RMBA), which held… Ler mais ‘Network and Networks’ meeting – M\u00e9rtola – 28 February 2025<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21778,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[135,131],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.museudemertola.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21788"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.museudemertola.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.museudemertola.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.museudemertola.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.museudemertola.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21788"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.museudemertola.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21788\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.museudemertola.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.museudemertola.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.museudemertola.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.museudemertola.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
