Museu de Lisboa - Fábrica de Moagem
Museu de Lisboa - Fábrica de Moagem
Mission
The Flour Mill is part of the Museum of Lisbon, whose general mission is to reveal Lisbon in different ways, bringing to light the riches of one of the oldest cities in Europe. This future branch of the Museum aims to study, research, archive, preserve and promote the identity of the factory complex of the former Manutenção Militar (a military-run factory providing food for the armed forces), while connecting it with the industrial history of Lisbon and Portugal.
Facilities
The flour mill building is a foundational part of the Manutenção Militar factory complex. It was the first building constructed to house the mill, as well as the bread, pasta and biscuit factories. Various construction systems – iron and concrete – can be seen there. The dynamic of the building is guided precisely by the development of the flour-production equipment itself. Inside this original building, we still find the entire operating system, almost intact, with its production lines and the complex network of tubes through which the cereal and the product itself – flour – were transported, which determined its unique character.
The rehabilitation and repurposing of the building that is being carried out follows sustainable principles which safeguard industrial heritage.
Usable area – 2,847 m2
Differentiating Factor
The Flour Mill at the former Manutenção Militar, which dates from 1897, is nationally unique and internationally rare.
Being the first factory unit at the Manutenção Militar, which answered to all the requirements inherent in feeding an army, the Flour Mill holds a broad and valuable heritage.
Having been maintained intact, as it was when it closed in 2007, most of the more than one hundred machines, operating systems and tubing installed there are in a good state of conservation and working order.
As well as attesting to the three main chronological phases of industrialisation – the early 20th century, the 1950s and the 1970s – the factory has a spirit that the Museum of Lisbon wants to protect. At the same time, the Museum seeks to develop an inclusive and interactive exhibition and educational programme for this site, which makes this project stand out.
Innovative
Services &
Products
In the future, this will be a museological space with a permanent display that is inclusive and interactive, and will have a diverse programme devised in connection with other sections of the Museum of Lisbon, of which it is part, and in a close relationship with the HCB community.
