The project, with a 12-month execution period, plans to create new interpretation and accessibility resources at the Sesimbra Maritime Museum and the Chapel and Hospital of the Holy Spirit of Fishermen and Seafarers. The goal is to facilitate access to heritage and involve schools, families, and the local community in cultural programming.
At the Maritime Museum, two interactive stations will be installed, dedicated to the fishermen and seafarers of Sesimbra, their trades and vessels, as well as fishing grounds and trade routes.
In the Chapel and Hospital of the Holy Spirit, environments of the old hospital and hospice will be recreated to help understand the reception and assistance practices of the 15th and 16th centuries. A digital resource will interpret the graffiti of 16th and 17th-century vessels on-site.
The funding, signed in early November with Museus e Monumentos de Portugal, also includes the creation of multimedia guides with Portuguese Sign Language and subtitles, tactile stations for the sacred art collection, and a dramatized tour.
