A name, a task

Land Museum Collection of Basto

A “gum” for the harvest

The MTB 437 “Earth Museum of Basto” was used to cut grape clusters. It's zinc foil and it's 4,5 inches tall. The inventory documents the utensil, without explaining how it was used or attributed to it a village of origin. The registered diameter is 2,7 cm: a small piece with a very specific task. The name, function and dimensions give different clues. ‘Unha’ is the name of the inventory; cutting curls is the documented use. The record connects the work of the vineyard to the craft of transforming metal. By moving on to the stories of grape varieties and wine containers, we changed the scale: from a small tool to the plant, harvest and circulation of the product.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Draws a line of 4,5 cm to represent the height recorded.

  3. Choose an object of yours whose name also surprises and compares the designation with the use.

Activity from sources and readings; does not require displacement or manipulation of historical pieces.

Gondiães e Vilar de Cunhas · memory and landscape

A house with three granaries

In Casa de Chouzas, three 19th-century granaries join the solarengo building highlighted by the Municipality. The set approximates two functions: inhabit and guard the harvest. Instead of looking only at the main house, it is also worth recognizing the importance of agricultural support constructions. The presentation of Vilar de Cunhas places this heritage in a plateau and mountain landscape, marked by agriculture and pastoral care. The house and the granaries can be read in this work context, without the source detailing the production of each property. The dating of the house is less firm: the municipality presents it as perhaps 19th century, while assigning the granaries to the 19th century. This difference must remain visible. The photo accompanying the reading shows the portal; it does not show the three granaries. The asset reference does not confirm access to the set.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Look at the photo of the portal and list only the elements you can see.
  2. Compared to the three granaries mentioned in the text: what depends on the written description?
  3. Imagine a caption that distinguishes the frame of the photograph from the remaining patrimonial set.

A proposal to make at your pace, without collecting copies.
