Art Exhibition | 𝐋𝐈𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐃𝐀𝐃𝐄 𝐃𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐑 Carina Félix 24 JAN – 22 MAR Borba Interactive House Museum
This exhibition is a journey. It does not begin with beauty — it begins with truth. Each work is a point of passage in an internal process that traverses pain, fragmentation, silence, courage and, finally, integration. 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐝𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐫 is not a perfect destination. It is the moment when we stop running away from who we are. Here, art does not ask for explanations. It asks for presence. Each painting is an emotional mirror — not of what we are on the outside, but of what we have been forced to go through on the inside. The exhibition also includes illustrations from the children’s book ‘𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐦 𝐞 𝐨 𝐀𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐚 𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐠𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐯𝐚 𝐝𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐚’
It will be on display from 24 January to 22 March at the Borba Interactive Museum House. Opening hours: Wednesday to Sunday 10:00 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 17:30 Admission ticket required.

This Halloween, the Interactive Museum House of Borba is promoting a unique night-time visit to the Adega das Talhas wine cellar.
31 October 1975. In Borba, Master Silva was known for producing the purest wine in the Alentejo. The recipe was a secret.
One night, one of his assistants, driven by greed, discovered the secret of the recipe. He sneaked into the cellar, copied the ingredients and fled. When the master realised the theft, he was overcome with silent despair.
The master disappeared without a trace and left a note:
“Anyone who dares to desecrate this cellar where my secret was betrayed will meet the same fate as the thief.
The doors will close, and you will only be able to leave if you find the keys and break the curse I leave sealed here.”
Fifty years later, using torches, we will explore Master Silva’s cellar, learn the perfect recipe for talha wine, and discover the three riddles to find the hidden keys and escape.
Time: 60 minutes Players: 4–8 Age group: 18+ Final objective: Gather the three keys and escape from the cellar. Essential tool: Each participant may bring a torch or use the torch on their mobile phone.
31 October 2025 | 9:00 p.m. Location: EM Rézio – Borba Interactive House Museum Rua 1.º Maio 2, 7150-140 Borba Ticket: €10.00 | includes: glass of wine
Nourishing the physical and energetic body, combined with the ancestral roots of clay talhas and the liquid gold they give us: talha wine.
The museum’s courtyard, an open and harmonious space, provides the setting for the practice, which takes place in the late morning. The century-old wine cellar transports us to the essence of this ancestral tradition of clay wine-making. Immersed in this atmosphere, in a relaxed environment, lunch will be served. During the experience, we will learn about the history of talha wines and taste them, of course.
