Education Services
The work of the Educational Service could overall be defined as that of facilitating contact between the object/exhibition and the lay observer. Provoking a reaction towards the contents of a work of art is as important as the contents of the work themselves. Stimulating enjoyment and a liking for art ought to be part of this experience, thereby helping to establish closer links between the public and the museum.
Activities
The orientation of guided tours within a pedagogic framework for
groups: students from all levels of education, teachers, adults, senior
citizens, the disabled, and professional and cultural associations.
Teacher training, during which themes and methodologies are discussed so that in school teachers can prepare their students for a visit to the museum and afterwards make better use of what they have learnt.
Pedagogic workshops for children and adolescents, in which participants examine and experiment creatively with an art technique or theme arising from the exhibition visited. Aimed at primary school groups. Weekend pedagogic workshops, intended for non-school groups of children and adolescents. Their aim is to explore the temporary exhibitions from a fun yet pedagogic perspective.
Themed workshops, developed and held, at the Educational Service’s invitation, by researchers from fields such as literature, art and sociology, based on the temporary exhibitions and approached from the perspective of diversifying ways of looking and perceiving. Aimed at secondary school children.
All the activities mentioned above are scheduled to coincide with the temporary exhibitions and are subject to advance booking by telephone or e-mail.

Synopsis: Exactly 507 years ago, on May 20, 1515, an animal arrived in Lisbon that had not been seen in Europe for over 1000 years: a rhinoceros. This animal provoked enormous curiosity not only in the Portuguese capital, but all over the European continent. Hearing descriptions of this strange creature, that same year, the German artist Albrecht Dürer made an engraving that became famous. In 2022, Portuguese painter Rui Macedo created a series of rhinos inspired by Dürer’s for the exhibition “A Outra Vida dos Animais” (The Other Life of Animals). It is about his relationship with Dürer's work and his works that Rui Macedo will talk to us, in conversation with Emília Ferreira, the exhibition's curator.

VISITS WITH ACTIVITIES:
Title: Shuffling and Unshuffling
WORKSHOPS
Title: Discover the Differences
Advisor: Vanessa Marques
Synopsis: Animals and humans: two species so different, yet so alike. Starting from the premise that the barriers that separate us from animals do not make us superior beings, nor of more value,
we propose two mornings in which, through body expression exercises, with theguidance of Vanessa Marques, we will sensitize and awaken the youngest to everything that brings the two species together – from the way of acting, of showing affection, to the way of communicating.
Dates: 5th and 19th of June
Time: 10:30 am to 12:30 pm
Price per registration: €15 per child
Note: Activity subject to prior registration and payment.
Title: Animals and Their Feelings
Advisor: Mariana Galvão and Karol
Synopsis: The goal is to inspire children to value interactions between animals and humans, through art and interactive activities, providing a pleasant experience for the youngest.
The activity is divided into three parts: the first part refers to the awareness of animals as sentient living beings, just like us humans. The second part focuses on the discovery of animals and their experiences through visiting the exhibition. The third part will be a memory game, which involves body movement and also the game Who's Who, in order to complete the activity, allowing the children to consolidate the experience and knowledge acquired.
Recipients: 6 to 10 years old
Dates: 10th and 16th of June
Time: 10:30 am to 12:30 pm
Price per registration: Free
Note: Activity subject to prior registration.
Title: The MNAC ZOO
Instructor: Tiago Guerreiro
Synopsis: In this workshop we are going to bring to life the animals that we find in the exhibition “The other life of animals”, by MNAC. First, let's visit the show and see what animals we find there. Then, each participant, young or old, will cut out cardboard and paint them with gouaches, thus creating the various parts, from tail to head, of their favorite animal. It could be a lazy donkey, a green and orange zebra, or even a one-legged stork.
In the end, we will unite the different parts creating a real illustrated and animated zoo.
Recipients: children from 4 years old or families. Children up to 5 years old must be accompanied by an adult.
Dates: 2nd of July
Time: 10:00 am to 12:00 pm
Price per registration: 10€ per child
