Meetings at the Mill
In the third edition of the Meetings at the Mill, the selected theme is essential for a more sustainable future. We are talking about the reuse of industrial buildings.
With the participation of around two dozen experts on this subject, this year's Encounters at the Mill are being held in partnership between the Lisbon Museum - Mill Factory and the Hat Museum.
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 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.
