"Animals of Lisbon". The presence of animals is not a footnote in the city's history

The "Animals of Lisbon" exhibition at the Museu de Lisboa Palácio Pimenta showcases the historical relationship between animals and humans in the city from the 12th to the 18th century. It highlights various species and their interactions with people, including intriguing stories like that of cats used as messengers in the Inquisition. The exhibition also features a citizen science project inviting locals to share images of animal representations throughout the city. This initiative aims to foster reflection on environmental issues and the role of animals in urban life. The exhibition runs until June 4, with related visits and workshops available.
