Museum of Migration and Communities
The Museum of Migrations and Communities was created on 12/07/2001 by decision of the Municipality of Fafe, as a virtual platform, with the designation of Museum of Emigration and Communities. Its main founder and promoter was the researcher Dr. Miguel Monteiro, a deep connoisseur of “Fafe dos Brasileiros” and also had the scientific support of Professor Maria Beatriz Rocha Trindade, our greatest expert on the subject of migration. With the development of its activities and the establishment of a vast network of contacts, the need arose to advance in the implementation of the physical realization of the Museum, foreseen from the beginning. The design of the museological project of the now called Museum of Migrations and Communitiesis by the museologist Doctor Fernando António Baptista Pereira and was approved by the CMF in 2008.
