Museum of senses



location: Portugal, Sao Domingo


A museum created in the memory of people who worked hard in the mines of Sao Domingo.
The landscape is impressive. That is why we considered we should bring something new
to this natural museum. There will be three spaces which will bring to us what we consider
the workers felt for years. The smell of acid water, the presure of total darkness and the
miracle of light.
