It is with great happiness that we share with you the news of the precious donation made to the Museum, consisting of 77 pieces by Luís Stoffel.
This donation will make it possible to record, for future memory, the art of Portuguese headgear from the 2010s and 2020s, as a production intended essentially for the performing arts - especially revue theater - and events and fashion productions.
You can discover all these extraordinary pieces until April 30, in the Temporary Exhibition Room of the Chapelaria Museum.
