Tavira: Sea heritages
Galeria Palace / Tavira Municipal Museum
“Tavira: Sea heritages” analyses the relation between the city and the sea from a chronological point of view, with information and education concerns, an exhibition developed from the archaeological remains and artistic items, charts and maps, tri-dimensional models and multimedia items.
The exhibit will describe the physical and territorial changes brought about by the hydrodynamics of the estuary and the mutations of the barrier islands, human mobilities that led to the founding of the city (the first projective models of the Phoenician and Turdetan Tavira), evolution and special architectonic elements, local economies (fishing, salt pans, fish preserves…), trade routes between Asia, the Mediterranean and Northern Europe that left their marks on the city, maritime religiousness as well as the new functions of the sea brought by the 20th Century. Images and films will be presented.
This exhibition will pave way for the future City Museum, involving specialists from different scientific areas (geographers, archaeologists, art and urban historians, sociologists, architects, model makers, film directors…) as well as many testimonials of people linked to the sea.
Inauguration on the 25th of October, on display until June 2009.
