Tool 1 – 3D Models of the paintings at the Alcântara Maritime Station with a story to tell - East and west walls Here you can view the paintings of the Alcântara Maritime Station in 3D, enriched with historical and art-historical content. The idea is simple: explore the space, click on the marked points, and discover curiosities and historical facts about the artworks. Both models include sound to make the experience more immersive.

 Heads-up: the models may take a while to load — we recommend using a computer rather than a phone.

Tool 2 – Planisphere for the younger ones A tool designed to spark children’s curiosity (and not just theirs!) based on the Planisphere painting. It’s a small taste of what can be done in a playful and educational way — the aim is to interact with the composition while learning. Try it out with your kids!

Tool 3 – Is everything on the same plane? This was a fun experiment to show that a 2D painting can still have depth! We often ask children: “Do you think everything’s on the same plane?” — then we slightly rotate the image… and the surprise is guaranteed. It’s a simple trick that works wonders and always leaves the little ones wide-eyed and eager to learn more about the paintings.

Tool 4 – Seeing beyond the visible: Almada in different wavelengths What if we could see beyond what the eye perceives? This tool invites you to observe Almada’s work through different wavelengths — visible, infrared, and ultraviolet — revealing textures, technical details, painting materials, and the artworks’ conservation state. It’s an almost scientific journey — but one that’s accessible and full of unexpected discoveries. Perfect for those who love to look closely… and go deeper.
