Abstract

Built on the terrain where once there was Francesinhas Convent, the Lisboa Antiga exhibition was planned by  Gustavo de Matos Sequeira as a recreation of an early  18th century Lisbon  neighbourhood for the 1935  Lisbon Festivities. With almost 200 000 visitors in just  four months, it became one of the most  memorable  events of the genre in Portugal. The present article aims to outline its fundamentals, dissemination and public  reception.
