DESCRIPTION AND FORMAL ANALYSIS

The mission of the museum is to protect the ruins of Conimbriga, promote their exhibition and conduct archaeological research; its collection is exclusively composed of archaeological material found in the city. The current exhibition displays everyday objects organised by theme and evokes the monumental forum, the rich domus, the vigour of Roman trade, the religion and creeds of the Romanized population and the Sueve and Visigothic presence. The mosaics, which have been preserved in situ, form a vast and invaluable collection that is highly appreciated by visitors. The Casa dos Repuxos (Fountain House) boasts a mosaic floor of around 569 m2, important vestiges of mural painting, and a unique central peristyle garden with a lake and jets of water.

Founded in 1962, this museum is the corollary of the many manifestations of interest and study that the ruins of the Roman city of Conimbriga have provoked in Portugal and abroad since the Renaissance.

Through everyday or symbolic objects, that evoke the religion, beliefs and way of life of the inhabitants, the permanent exhibition provides a historical summary that is essential for an understanding of Conimbriga from the early awakenings of the Iron Age to the Middle Ages, with a special emphasis on the Roman heritage.

In particular, there is a valuable collection of mosaics, sculptures, Roman and Visigoth coins and several household and agricultural utensils. One of the curiosities that you can see in this interesting museum is the reconstitution of the Flavian imperial forum, which is a celebration of the emperor and the cult associated with him.
