Museu Tesouro Real Museography / Exhibition design 2017 – 2022
The Royal Treasure Museum, located in the west wing of the Ajuda National Palace, houses one of the largest vaults in the world with more than seven hundred pieces part of the old assets of the former Portuguese Royal House, some belonging to the Crown and others from the former private collections of the Portuguese Royal Family members, spread over 11 areas. The museographic project conceived a system of corridors that connect the two floors of the palace allowing the creation of an intermediate level inside the vault. From the dark environment, grazing lights break through, strategically illuminating the royal jewels.
