Industry, Art and Letters. 250 Years of the Portuguese National Press
Unfolding across ten chronological periods, this exhibition tells the story of the Portuguese National Press' 250 years. This is also the history of the printed word - an essential instrument for widespread access to education, scientific knowledge and artistic creation. With letters and type being natural core components of the project, typography was a central element in the design process. The exhibition layout resembles a giant type box, creating a flexible grid where sections unveil as the visitors progress through historical periods.
