The collection of old drawings of the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon

The collection of old drawings of the Faculty of Fine Arts of Lisbon encompasses over one thousand works, dated between 1830 and 1935. Restricted mainly to classroom exercises, these works witness the patterns of taste and the methods followed in teaching drawing at the former Academy of Fine Arts of Lisbon. The integration of the collection in the Virtual Museum FBAUL, created in the beginning of 2011, launched a precedent for inscribing other collections owned by the faculty and assured the museological identity of the collection and its place in the global network of university museums and collections.
