At the same time, it collaborates towards conserving, enriching and improving the Pius XII and Medina Museums.

The launch of a new book in the collection “Artists of/in Braga” will take place on 18 October, as part of the Cultural Heritage of the Church celebrations. This time, the book is dedicated to Abel Mendes (father) and Rui Mendes (son), two artists from Braga who have valuable works spread around the city of the archbishops, but also across Portugal.

The book launch will take place in the Pius XII Museum, at 9:30 p.m. We will be honoured by the presence of Maria Dalila Aguiar Rodrigues, who is currently in charge of the Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower in Lisbon.
