The Coimbra Water Museum, located in the Parish of Almedina and occupying the former water treatment and lifting station, was inaugurated in March 2007, the current structure was designed by architects João Mendes Ribeiro, Alberto Lapa and Paolo Monzo to portray the history of public water supply. Also noteworthy is the use of the underground tunnel that currently leads to an esplanade by the river banks. This museum space is a place of celebration of ancient memories, inspired by the permanent dialogue between Coimbra and the Mondego River. The Museum's annual cultural program has a number of suggestions for activities and events, ranging from painting, sculpture, video, art installations, book presentation / release, music concerts, to thematic seminars and workshops.
