Opened in 1995, it was about time to renew and update the exhibition language of Rua dos Correeiros Archaeological Site (NARC). Closed for refurbishment from June 2019 until November 2021, NARC reopened with a new museological experience, designed by ATELIER BRÜCKNER, in Stuttgart, nowadays one of the world’s most prestigious specialists in museographic scenography.

“The investment of this exceptional NARC’s refurbishment is part of Millennium bcp’s permanent concern to value the historical and cultural heritage as an essential factor for the development of Portugal”.

António Monteiro, President of the Millennium bcp Foundation

“NARC is an unusual place where the traditional presentation of time disappears: the past and present experience are connected to each other. 2,500 years of history and vestiges of a city that has been filled with life uninterruptedly become an immersive experience”.

Shirin Brückner, Managing Director of Atelier Brückner

“The purpose of this intervention is to enable a new concept of visit to the archaeological site, supported in a differentiating expository narrative and using several technological solutions, in an immersive and engaging experience on the history of Lisbon. We believe this is an excellent way of transmitting knowledge and new contents for wider audiences”.
