Building 2 of the Boidobra Traditional Arts Interpretive Center is located in the village of Boidobra, part of the municipality of Covilhã. This space is situated in the heart of the town's historic area, resulting from a restoration project aimed at enhancing the region's built and cultural heritage.
Set in a tranquil urban area, it allows visitors to explore the surroundings and experience the characteristic atmosphere of a Beira Interior village, with its streets and buildings that tell stories of other times.
This building represents an essential part of the Boidobra Traditional Arts Interpretive Center project. Its purpose is the preservation and dissemination of the collective memories of the local population, offering a window into the experiences and customs that have shaped this community over generations.
Through its exhibitions, visitors are encouraged to understand the way of life of this community, helping to keep Boidobra's historical and cultural identity alive and shared.
Inside Building 2, the main focus is on the labor activities that characterized daily life in Boidobra. One area is dedicated to agriculture, showcasing a collection of agricultural tools and implements that illustrate the practices and effort of working in the fields.
Furthermore, there is a space dedicated to cheese production, an activity with strong tradition in the region, which reflects the community's connection to the land and its products. The pieces and information presented allow for a deeper understanding of these arts and crafts.
In an interesting contrast to the work demonstrations, the building also includes an area where visitors can discover traditional toys. This space offers a glimpse into the playful world of past generations, showing how the children of Boidobra entertained themselves and interacted with simple objects, yet full of creativity.
This section provides a lighter and more nostalgic perspective on community life, complementing the narrative about past labor activities and customs.
In addition to the permanent exhibitions that address work and customs, Building 2 also features an area reserved for temporary exhibitions. This characteristic gives the center a particular dynamism, allowing for the presentation of different themes, arts, or collections over time.
The existence of this space ensures that the Interpretive Center can continue to surprise and offer new perspectives on Boidobra's culture and traditions, remaining a point of interest in constant evolution.
