Archaeological Expedition: Brilliant Portugal

Archaeological Expedition: Brilliant Portugal

Set out with Victor Rich to uncover the treasures of 16th-century Portugal—an age of daring ocean voyages and ornate stone lacework!

Navigate the fog, complete tasks, and restore the full museum exposition to bring rare culture to your city and piece together a brand-new exhibition for the Archaeological Museum.  

Dates: October 22–30, 2025

Why “Brilliant Portugal”?

Portugal’s 16th century—the height of the Age of Discoveries—saw navigators chart new sea routes while artisans back home shaped the Manueline style: exuberant carvings of ropes, armillary spheres, shells, and botanical motifs celebrating maritime triumphs.

Think of landmarks like riverfront watchtowers and cloisters wrapped in sculpted cordage—the perfect backdrop for an expedition about exploration and craft.
