Living Memory Museum

Tagus International Living Memory Museum

This open-air museum consists of various explanatory panels, spread between two locations. Its aim is to clearly present the most relevant cultural aspects of the collective memory of the Tagus International Biosphere Reserve.

In the Plaza de la Bola there are nine panels with explanatory texts in various languages and an audiorecording in which local people from the area around the Tagus narrate their life experiences.

In the Cordel de Alcántara, there are seven panels specifically dedicated to the transhumance, the seasonal movement of livestock, an activity that has been of huge importance to the reserve, and which has left its mark in numerous ways.
