Today, in the temporary exhibition room of the Hat Museum, the signing of the protocol for the donation of the 77 pieces that make up the temporary exhibition "Luís Stoffel. The Millinery Art", with the presence of the Mayor of S. João da Madeira, Jorge Sequeira, the Director of the Museum, Tânia Reis and the designer responsible for these pieces, Luís Stofell.
It was on March 5, 2023 that we announced this donation through our social networks. It was with great happiness that the Museum Team received this precious news from Luís Stoffel. And today, 3 days before the end of this exhibition, we make this union official.
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 Hat Museum.
