Aveiro Museum has been a "success" and "unique" story for ten years

The municipal management of the Aveiro/Santa Joana Museum completed ten years yesterday and the Aveiro City Council celebrated the date by presenting the results since it took over this change, on August 1, 2015, when the inter-administrative contract for the delegation of powers from the State to the municipality came into force, with one of the figures released pointing to a 72 percent increase in the number of visitors. Further calculations show that the municipality's average annual investment in the museum is 600,000 euros, out of a total of six million euros over this decade. "Even the sum of many years (if the investment were national) wouldn't reach six million euros," said the mayor, Ribau Esteves. Yesterday's ceremony served to celebrate "a decade of success in decentralizing and managing cultural values on a national and global scale, integrating them into the tourism strategy" that the municipality has implemented.

In the "What has changed?" accounting in the ten years of municipal management, the council records a 132 percent increase in its own revenue, a 30 percent increase in human resources, in addition to the entire collection being inventoried and available online, in addition to the 88 temporary exhibitions.
