From Factory to Museum
A moving visual journey that reveals the transformation of the former EICHAP – Empresa Industrial de Chapelaria (Industrial Hat Factory) – into a museum space. Photographer Aníbal Lemos presents a chronological journey through historical and contemporary images that document the end of the factory, the void left by its closure, and the rebirth of the place as the Hat Museum. These are faces, memories, and spaces that tell us stories of work, identity, and change. A photographic narrative that preserves the past and celebrates the present.
