Going through its rooms, we entered the world of illegal emigration of the 60s and 70s, knowing every moment, from the causes, the preparation of the trip and the trip itself, until the arrival and living in the host country. A perfect social portrait of the hundreds of children of the land that Melga\u00e7o has seen leave, not forgetting the reflexes of this exodus in the county. It is also made here a picture of the smuggling that made to live in the clandestinity so many melgacences. We highlight the actual documented testimonies that carry us to the time when the "leap" was going abroad.\r\nThe space also has an office for immigrants" This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 693669.
