Emplacement du musée : Sintra


The NewsMuseum is a museum dedicated to news, media and communication located in Sintra, Portugal. Inspired by the Washington’s Newseum (USA), it was inaugurated in the first minutes of 25 April 2016, in an event attended by the President of the Portuguese Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa. It occupies the former facilities of the Museu do Brinquedo (Toy Museum) and presents, in a physical but also virtual space, a history of the media and journalism evolution. The Acta Diurna association, which promotes the project and is presided by Luís Paixão Martins, has invested approximately 1.8 million euros in the museum. The project also has the support of Sintra’s city council, which lent the property in the historic center to the association, for 20 years.
