Miniature City - Model by fireman Luís Pereira de Carvalho

Over 26 years, Luís Caetano Pereira de Carvalho built the centre piece of the exhibition ‘Cidade-Miniatura’, which the museum team affectionately calls ‘the fireman’s model’.

The meticulous work made in polychrome wood is 2,21 meters long and 0,89 meters wide, in a 1:1000 scale.

This model represents Lisboa in the first decades of the 20th century.

It represents all the carefully studied buildings which were created with the characteristics and colours of the time, revealing the evolution of the city and the changes time has brought about since then.
