Conimbriga Monographic Museum

The mission of the museum is to protect the ruins of Conimbriga, promote their exhibition and conduct archaeological research; its collection is exclusively composed of archaeological material found in the city. The current exhibition displays everyday objects organised by theme and evokes the monumental forum, the rich domus, the vigour of Roman trade, the religion and creeds of the Romanized population and the Sueve and Visigothic presence. The mosaics, which have been preserved in situ, form a vast and invaluable collection that is highly appreciated by visitors. The Casa dos Repuxos (Fountain House) boasts a mosaic floor of around 569 m2, important vestiges of mural painting, and a unique central peristyle garden with a lake and jets of water.

The ruins of the Roman city of Conimbriga have been known since the 16th century. However, it was not until 1873 that the Institute of Coimbra set up one section and one Museum of Archaeology for the study of the Conimbriga ruins. It conducted the first significant sounding operations in 1899, when it drew the oppidum plan, and carried out the first mosaic surveys. The first excavations in Conimbriga began in 1929 and, following the 11th International Congress of Anthropology and Pre-History in 1930, the State purchased the first land plots. Some reconstitution and consolidation works were carried out during the 1940s and 1950s. The Museum was established in 1962.

Rede Portuguesa de Museus

A Rede Portuguesa de Museus (RPM) é um sistema organizado de museus, baseado na adesão voluntária, configurado de forma progressiva e que visa a descentralização, a mediação, a qualificação e a cooperação entre museus.

A Rede Portuguesa de Museus é composta pelos 165 museus que atualmente a integram. A riqueza do seu universo reside na diversidade de tutelas, de coleções, de espaços e instalações, de atividades educativas e culturais, de modelos de relação com as comunidades e de sistemas de gestão.
