Carnival at World of Discoveries: Legends and Masks

Carnaval no World of Discoveries : Lendas e Máscaras

Carnival at World of Discoveries arrived with “Legends and Masks” and brought colour, creativity and plenty of energy to the Museum. Throughout the week, the atmosphere was designed to engage families, spark imagination, and turn a visit into a truly participatory experience.

 

A Museum “in costume”: theatre, décor and space for younger visitors

Across the week, the mood shifted from the very entrance: a theatrical welcome, special decorations, and a dedicated stand for younger visitors, where creativity took off (and many masks appeared along the way).

 

Masks, smiles and family creativity

One of the most loved activities was the invitation to paint a Carnival mask, offered by the Museum. And the result spoke for itself:

  • children focused on every detail;
  • families creating together;
  • smiles spreading through the galleries.

More than a playful moment, it was a simple, beautiful way to experience the Museum actively,  with time to create, share, and take a little piece of the experience home.

 

From Entrudo to Carnival: History in motion

By marking this week, we also celebrated what sits behind the festivities: historical connections, cultural influences, and the way traditions travel and transform. The response once again confirmed the public’s interest in themed experiences that combine learning with active participation.

 

A living space where every visitor is part of the story

Over these days, World of Discoveries became exactly what it aims to be every day: a living museum, where the past speaks to the present and every visitor can feel part of the story.

Because at World of Discoveries, routes aren’t limited to oceans, they also pass through traditions, memories and celebrations that continue to connect different parts of the world.
