Location

The Museum Centre is located in Matriz, one of the most established areas of the town of Borba, situated in the heart of Alentejo. This location allows for an immersion in the local atmosphere, characterized by its quiet streets and traditional Alentejo architecture, often adorned with the region's marble. The museum is thus integrated into the daily life of the town, inviting visitors to discover its unique environment and its connection to the surrounding territory on foot.

The Essence of Borba

This museum space offers a journey through the identity of the municipality of Borba. Its exhibitions are dedicated to revealing the elements that have shaped the life and culture of this region. Visitors can discover the particularities of local history, the traditions that remain alive, and the community's deep connection to its territory. The highlight is the influence of marble, a natural resource that has profoundly marked Borba's landscape, economy, and way of life over the centuries.

A Legacy in the Cultural Centre

Integrated into the Borba Cultural Centre building, this centre represents a meeting point between the town's past and present. The intervention in the building, designed to house the museum, aimed to preserve its character while adapting it to the contemporary functions of a cultural space. The project reflects a commitment to enhancing local heritage, providing an environment where Borba's history and particularities are presented in an accessible and engaging way for all those interested in its cultural richness.
