Aware that the preservation of its cultural and heritage collection also indicates the preservation of the Club’s
true identity, it was decided to create the Cultural Heritage Direction whose mission is to preserve, valorize
and communicate this heritage through its conservation, research, interpretation and communication, as well as
through other educational and cultural programmes.
Benfica Museum – Cosme Damião is par excellence the communication tool of the Club’s cultural collection, and
the project’s most prominent part. However the mission and goals of the Cultural Heritage Direction can only be
possible with the combined efforts of its five composing areas: the Storage, Conservation and Restoration
Department, the Documentation and Information Centre, the Curatorship, the Production Department and the
Mediation and Educational Services.
