This report aims to present a comprehensive reflection and description of the
internship carried out for the completion of the Master’s degree in Intercultural
Studies for Business from the Porto Accounting and Business School (ISCAP), which
took place at Museu do Vitral, from February to May 2022.
Museums have evolved considerably throughout history, from the cabinets of
curiosities to the modern 21st century museum that makes use of technology.
Museums can lead to economic and cultural gains at local, national and international
levels, and their relationship with their communities has evolved through time. Museu
do Vitral is located in the historic centre of the city of Porto and it exhibits artworks
created by Vidraria Antunes, which was one of the oldest stained-glass studios in
Portugal.
This report describes the experience of being an intern at Museu do Vitral, with an
analysis of the multiple tasks and functions carried out during the course of the
internship, the knowledge obtained as well as the skills acquired during the master’s
degree that contributed to the success of the internship, the challenges faced and
overcome, with a final reflection on the results and impact of the experience
