Exhibition focused on the unique recent history of the village of Luz, particularly on the period of the moving motivated by the Alqueva dam.
Objects from the past, of the museum's ethnographic collection and donated by the inhabitants of Luz, representing the ancestral crafts that linked the men to land and its natural resources.
Objects related to rural labor provide the framework to the documentary 'My village no longer lives here', by Catarina Mourão, and to audiovisual documents produced at that time.

In the year in which the 20th anniversary of the new village of Luz is celebrated, this exhibition represents a commemorative tribute to the old village of Luz, resulting from a persistent and meticulous work by Horácio Guerra who, for years, collected information from various sources until he began to create the base on which he built an approximate scale model of 1/100, as faithful as possible, of the old Luz.

The filmic-photographic essay “Adagiary or Ways to Talk with Birds” presents the fragile and resilient nature of the materials, seeking a fictionalized and tensioned mapping of the real. This adagiary does not seek to reveal or hide, but to enhance a lexicon that evokes possible understandings of the way we are and inhabit time and space. Perhaps, with him, it will be possible to communicate with the birds.

Those who visit the Alentejo today are faced with profound changes that they would not expect to be so significant. The element that leverages this transformation process is Alqueva. This project clearly shows a before and after in several areas, with emphasis on the agricultural component.

Those who visit Alentejo today are faced with profound changes, as a result of the dynamics introduced by the Alqueva Project.
EDIA, as an entity whose objective is to conceive, carry out, build, explore and promote the Alqueva Multiple Finals Project, has been protecting that all stages are implemented in a sustainable manner and with respect for environmental and heritage concerns.

As 20 years have passed since the inauguration of the Alqueva dam and the submersion process and subsequent project to minimize the patrimonial impact of the various archaeological sites, the Luz village Museum opens an exhibition dedicated to the Castelo da Lousa archaeosite, classified as a National Monument. Although the Castelo da Lousa is submerged and the remains resulting from the excavations prior to its submersion continue to be the subject of constant studies. This exhibition is the latest historical, archaeological and research review of this archaeological site.
