Portugal dos Pequenitos

A theme park located in Coimbra, Portugal, inaugurated in 1940. Designed by Professor Bissaya Barreto and architect Cassiano Branco, the park was conceived as an educational and leisure space, primarily aimed at children, but it also attracts adults due to its historical and cultural value.

Within the park, we discover detailed miniatures of the main monuments and historical buildings of Portugal, replicas of traditional houses from various regions of Portugal, and thematic pavilions that portray the culture and architecture of Portuguese-speaking countries, the Azores, and Madeira.

In 2020, we were invited to develop new content and exhibition solutions for these pavilions, aiming to reflect the local identities and multiculturalism, ensuring inclusivity and coherence in all their representations, while adapting to the specific communication contexts of each pavilion and their themes.
