We are thrilled to announce that Cante Alentejano Museum has been honored with the prestigious Museography Work prize at the Prémios APOM, presented by the Portuguese Association of Museology (APOM). This accolade recognizes the efforts put forth by Cante Alentejano Interpretive Center, which opened its doors in August 2021.
Cante Alentejano Interpretive Center, nestled within the “Casa do Cante,” received this esteemed award during a ceremony held on May 27th, which took place at the “Academia Militar” auditorium in Amadora, in collaboration with the “Museu Militar Lisboa.”
APOM Awards: Celebrating Excellence in Museology
The APOM Awards, hosted annually, serve as a platform to honor and celebrate excellence in various sectors and activities across 32 different categories. The recognition bestowed upon the Cante Alentejano Interpretive Center is a testament to its dedication to preserving and presenting the rich heritage of “Cante Alentejano.”
The Visionary Collaboration Behind the Win
This remarkable achievement is a testament to the collaborative spirit that brought the Cante Alentejano Museum to life. João Borges Design Atelier led the way in designing the museum’s aesthetics, museography, and content. However, it was the synergy with GEMA, responsible for the multimedia project, that truly made this endeavor exceptional.
About Cante Alentejano Museum
