Le 25 avril 1974, la Révolution des Œillets marque le début de la conquête de la démocratie au Portugal. Le Nationalmusée um Fëschmaart organise à partir d’avril 2024 une grande exposition temporaire dans le contexte du 50e anniversaire de cet événement marquant qui fait partie intégrante de l’histoire de beaucoup de résidents du Grand-Duché ayant leurs racines au Portugal.
The museum is looking for witnesses of the Carnation Revolution who are willing to share their stories in so far as they connect with the Grand Duchy. In addition to oral histories, we are also looking for objects linked to the uprising of 25 April 1974, to the wars of independence of the Portuguese colonies (e.g. army uniforms), or for items that document relations between Luxembourg and Portugal in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
Did you witness the demonstrations of May 1974 first hand? Did you live through the Portuguese dictatorship until it was overthrown? Did you or your family come to Luxembourg from Portugal in the 1960s or 1970s for political reasons? Help us illustrate your story through old passports, posters, correspondence, oral testimonies and other objects. Feel free to email us with photo(s): email hidden; JavaScript is required.
