12 to 19 June | “Matchboxes with History” on show at PTAT
After the exhibition “Portuguese Toys of the 20th Century”, the Tourism Office of Alto Tâmega e Barroso (PTAT) welcomes now a second private collection of professor Rui Queirós, this time “Matchboxes with History”. The exhibition will be open to the public between the 12th and the 19th of June.
The aim of this exhibition is to take the PTAT visitors on a journey through the evolution and importance of the match industry in Portugal, as well as to show the images that illustrate the matchboxes, which were used to portray scenes of daily life and monuments, later also serving as advertising and propaganda.
Between the 12th and 19th of June, be sure to visit the PTAT, located at Alameda do Tabolado, in Chaves.
