The Director of MNSR, António Ponte, and the Museum team welcomed today around 30 students from the University of Porto (UPorto) who participated in the inaugural class of the new curricular unit “Culture, Art and Heritage: the museum as place of enjoyment.” The result of a partnership between UPorto and city institutions, the initiative will allow for a semester of access behind the scenes of Porto’s artistic and cultural activity and the acquisition of transversal skills, particularly around the operation of a Museum.
Undergraduate and Masters students from different areas such as Management, Law, Veterinary or Fine Arts will be in direct contact with the MNSR team, being able to acquire knowledge about museology, collection management, conservation and restoration and image and visual culture.
