As a benchmark event in the Cultural Heritage sector in Portugal, AR&PA - Iberian Biennial of Cultural Heritage is a meeting point and a discussion forum for professionals and institutions committed to Cultural Heritage. The exhibition area, the diversity of scientific and occupational activities and the social, playful, and educational programming create a one-time event, a benchmark in the sector, and illustrate how cultural heritage can be an endless source of inspiration for all.

 

AR&PA - Iberian Biennial of Cultural Heritage combines the Bienal de la Restauración y Gestión del Patrimonio AR&PA promoted by the Junta de Castilla & Leon, in Valladolid since 1998, with the Heritage Fair, created in Portugal in 2013 by Spira – revitalização patrimonial.​
