Museu de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal, 21-22 May 2026

Docomomo Portugal is happy to share that it will participate on the upcoming edition of “Encontros na Moagem” [Milling Encounters] organized by Museu de Lisboa – Fábrica de Moagem and Museu da Chapelaria. Taking place on 21-22 May 2026, the topic of this third edition is “Quanto vale a memória? Dar vida aos espaços industriais” [How much is memory worth? Bringing industrial spaces to life].

The reuse of industrial buildings is an essential theme for a more sustainable future, thus having been selected for this third edition. “Starting from the theme ” How much is memory worth? Giving life to industrial spaces ,” the reflection to be carried out will be through the knowledge of different cases of industrial buildings reused and converted to museum or cultural uses, mainly in the last two decades. For the first time, it will be possible to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the reuse of industrial spaces and their adaptation into museums in Portugal. The aim is to contribute to an understanding of the geographical distribution of these museums built in industrial spaces, the themes they address, and the architectural choices made. Another dimension not to be forgotten is the benefits they have brought to the territory, particularly in the context of industrial tourism.”

Among  the participation of around twenty experts in this field, Docomomo Portugal will be represented by itss member João Belo Rodeia, as well member of Docomomo International’s Advisory Board.

The full program for the event is now available. The entrance is free, but requires registration via email at reservas@museudelisboa.pt.
