Episode 1 • May 14, 2022
O Julgamento Final
Álvaro Costa came to Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga in 2016, despite during his childhood having spent many school afternoons in the Museum's garden drawing. The themes in the "Last Judgement" painting, Álvaro's favourite, mirror his sense of duty and responsibility. Performing different tasks as surveillance guard, surveillance coordinator and receptionist, he faces several challenges and unforeseen events that leave many stories to tell.
Episode 2 • Jul 04, 2022
Vista de Lisboa
António Machado joined the Museum's staff in 2015. Living in Amadora, in the suburbs of Lisbon, everyday he rediscovers the city not on his way to work, but through the 18th century painting "View of Lisbon". This surveillance guard doesn't really know why he loves this artwork; maybe it's the colours, the multitude of details, the wide dimension? On his work routine, conversations with the visitors fill his days the same way this painting fills his eyes.
Episode 3 • Aug 01, 2022
Virgem com Menino
Carla Pereira has been in the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga since 2017. She appreciates the tranquility of the surveillance work without neglecting the constant attention to the visitor. However, not everything goes well all the time and when unforeseen circumstances occur, only Carla and her colleagues can ensure the Museum's doors stay open. She remains enchanted by the art pieces she guards, even by those she knows well, but the one that delights her most is a particular sculpture of Virgin Mary, who smiles tenderly at her every day of work.
Episode 4 • Sep 04, 2022
Adoração dos Magos
Jeanine Baptista came from Ponta Delgada, from the Museu Carlos Machado, in 2021. The pieces she comes across every day, now at Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, bring her imagination to life, but it is the hypnotic (and maybe supernatural) effect of the Divine light in Domingos Sequeira's "Adoration of the Magi" that truly amazes Jeanine.
Episode 5 • Oct 09, 2022
Inferno
Dulce Gonzaga came to work for the MNAA in 2006, but her first time visiting the Museum was when she was 5 years old, by the hand of her grandfather. Raised near the 9 de Abril Garden, she came across the infamous painting "Hell" on one of those visits. More curious than haunted, she returns years later as an employee, to rediscover that strange image that stayed with her ever since.
Episode 6 • Nov 21, 2022
Jubako & Polvorinho
Paulo Almeida had already been in MNAA in 2014 and returned permanently in 2019, when he joined the board of technical assistants. As a surveillance guard, he has passionately studied the pieces of the collection he guards. When his favourite pieces, a Jubako and a Powder Flask, are removed for maintenance, Paulo follows them into the Museum's archives... And we shall go with him.
Episode 7 • Jan 01, 2023
Pote & Anunciação
Since he was a child, Paulo Pinheiro has had a great desire for discovery. Having arrived from Aveiro for a visit, this 14-year-old boy's first step in a great museum was precisely at the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga. Years later, he returns as a volunteer supporting the cleaning and restoration of stone pieces and ends up staying as a surveillance guard and receptionist in 2015. Paulo doesn't have favourite artworks, but the association of a jar in a Portuguese altarpiece painting to a piece of Chinese ceramics motivates a curious presentation and evokes themes that fascinate Paulo, such as contemplation, peace and self discovery.
Episode 8 • Feb 06, 2023
As Tentações de Santo Antão
Each day, Paulo Pires' routine alternates between long hours of surveillance and the turmoil of the errands service, which requires him to be always walking from one place to another. In Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, it's rare to find him standing in the same place, but in this chapter of "In Our Care", he stops himself before the famous "Temptation of St. Anthony", by Hieronymus Bosch, a painting which is beyond anything Paulo could have ever imagined.
Episode 9 • May 13, 2023
Biombos Namban
Since 1996 at the MNAA, Pedro Miranda is one of the longest-serving employees in the institution. He saw the walls transform, colleagues come and go, new acquisitions, dozens of temporary exhibitions and hundreds of thousands of visitors. For 17 years, he was the guardian of the Museum at night and, from his experience, the pieces do not come to life as they do in the movies. The only thing that hasn't changed since his arriving is the Level 2 of the Museum, where his favourite piece of art remains - the iconic Namban Folding Screens.

Tina Anselmi, Una vita per la democrazia

Tina Anselmi, Una vita per la democrazia

"If the world changes, I'm afraid to be there" was Tina Anselmi's deep conviction. After that, in 1944, after being forced, along with all the Bassano students, to witness the enlistment of 31 homeless Germans, 17-year-old Tina Anselmi decided to join the Italian resistance. A trade unionist in defense of working women, she was the first female minister in Italy, in 1976, as the Minister of Labor, and we thank her for the fact that the salary differences between male and female workers were abolished. He returned to Health as Minister in 1978 and was one of the main supporters of the reform that led to the creation of the National Health Service. In the 1980s, in the presidiums of the Commission of Inquiry of the P2 Masonic Lodge, a secret structure with the capacity to control government institutions, the biggest scandal in Italian history occurred. Often the only woman in the world of homes, Tina Anselmi's life was born out of Italian democracy.
