The Ambientes do Ar, Museological Hub of the Terras de Besteiros Museum is located in the area of Caparrosa and Silvares, integrated into the locality of Souto Bom, within the municipality of Tondela. This is an area with predominantly rural characteristics and a tranquil atmosphere, typical of the landscape of central Portugal. Tondela's general setting is marked by a diversity of natural environments, which include mountain areas, valleys, and stretches of fields, contributing to a serene experience and contact with the natural surroundings.
This museological hub functions as an extension of the main Terras de Besteiros Museum, with a specific dedication to the concept of "Air Environments". The space is dedicated to exploring the multiple facets related to the Earth's atmosphere. Its purpose is to deepen knowledge about meteorological phenomena, the vital importance of air for the sustainability of life on the planet, and the various ways humanity interacts with and understands this essential and often imperceptible element.
As part of Tondela municipality's cultural offering, this museological hub invites discovery and reflection on the dimension and complexity of the air element that surrounds us. By focusing on "Air Environments", the proposal is to present a unique perspective on concepts ranging from atmospheric sciences and ecology to the cultural and symbolic aspects associated with air. The intention is to enrich the visitor's understanding of one of the most fundamental components of existence and the global ecosystem.
