Description

The exhibition explores the history of the Republic from 1910 to the present day and the technological evolution of the vehicles that have served the Presidents of the Portuguese Republic. This exhibition is the result of a partnership between the Museum of Transport and Communications and the Museum of the Presidency of the Republic, and offers the public the opportunity to visit one of the country’s most important car collections: those that, throughout the Republic’s century-long history, have served its Presidents. “This project stems from the recognition that the vehicles on display here constitute historical heritage and provides an opportunity to learn about the history of the Portuguese Republic and the presidential institution.
