Centro Ciencia Viva do Lousal - Mina de Ciencia

About

The main purpose of the Ciencia Viva Centres Network is to spread scientific and technological culture among the wider Portuguese public. The Ciencia Viva Centres are dynamic places of learning and fun, where scientific curiosity and the desire to learn are stimulated. In the Lousal Ciencia Viva Centre we invite you to make a time travel and go back to the period when the Lousal mine was still active, when ores that have formed millions of years ago were mined out from this mine by thousands of miners. In this place these people have fed dreams and wishes, have loved and saw their children grow, have taken care of their old relatives. Today, it is future again, it is a land reinvented by the will of many people and sustained by the richest ore: Knowledge. Lousal, forever Lousal.
