Exhibition “D. Maria II – From Brazilian princess to queen of Portugal: 1819-1853”

The Club organised last 16th of July a guided tour to the exhibition hosted at the King D. Luís Gallery, at the Ajuda Palace.

The exhibition reviews Queen Maria II’s two reigning decades (1834-1853) through art works, jewellery, objects and documents evoking the Queen’s biography, since her origins, upbringing, family life, her marriages, as well as her relations with the other European courts, in an era of vast social, economic and cultural transformations, in which Portugal changes from Absolutism to Constitutionalism.
