Location

NuMOAS is located in the village of Sertã, a central point in the municipality of the same name. This cultural space occupies the former premises of the Conde Ferreira Primary School, which was adapted for its current purpose. Its location in Alameda da Carvalha, a welcoming area of the village, makes it easily accessible for anyone exploring Sertã and its surroundings.

A Hub for Handicrafts

NuMOAS, whose full name is Núcleo Museológico e Oficina de Artesanato da Sertã (Museum Centre and Handicraft Workshop of Sertã), is a space dedicated to the valorisation and preservation of the region's traditional craftsmanship. It is the result of a joint initiative between local entities, with the aim of creating a place where the richness of Sertã's arts and crafts can be presented to the public. It functions as a meeting point that highlights the importance of manual work in the village's cultural identity.

The Diversity of Handicraft Creations

Within NuMOAS, visitors can discover the vast range of materials and techniques that characterise Sertã's craftsmanship. The space is organised to highlight different work areas, with sections dedicated to wood, textiles (including notable linen work), and other distinctive arts. This organisation provides a clear perception of the skill and creativity of local artisans, showing how raw materials are transformed into pieces that tell stories of the region.

Legacy and Inspiration

Housed in a historic building, NuMOAS is not just an exhibition space; it is also an active centre that fosters the continuity of artisanal know-how. By giving visibility to the creations of Sertã's artisans, this centre contributes to the maintenance of a cultural legacy, inspiring both young people to discover these practices and visitors to appreciate the authenticity and intrinsic value of each handmade piece.
