Have you already heard of the campaign “Vamos Pôr o Sequeira no lugar certo? "The National Museum of Ancient Art has launched a campaign to integrate in its collection the painting “A Adoração dos Magos”, by Domingos António de Sequeira. The challenge is as follows: to divide the painting, valued EUR 600,000, into 10 million pixels, one for each Portuguese citizen. The University of Coimbra is joining this campaign and will sponsor one pixel per each person connected to the UC community, in an overall number of 55 thousand pixels, donating in a first phase EUR 3,300. However, we want our contribution to be larger, so, for each alumnus who enrolls in the UC Alumni Network, the university will purchase another pixel.
