Southwest Writing Museum, Almodôvar

2024 Event

Participation in the renovation of the Museum of Southwest Writing (MESA) in Almodôvar (Alentejo) with the reproduction made in resin of two original epigraphed stone stelae from the collection of the Provincial Archaeological Museum of Badajoz:

  • Warrior stele, quartzite, with southwestern inscription, 7-6th c. BC, Capote, Higuera la Real,
  • Sandstone stele, with inscription in Tartesian language, 6th c. BC, Paraje El Ruidero, Siruela

    * The Museum of Southwestern Writing is the starting point for understanding the history of a vast territory stretching across Portugal and Spain. Conceptually, it is characterized by the beginning of history and showcases the ancestral forms of communication used by the peoples who inhabited this territory more than 2,500 years ago. The Museum of Southwestern Writing is a living space in constant transformation. The exhibition presents, in a didactic, functional, and aesthetic way, the evolution of writing and written knowledge. ©
