Luanda - An exhibition entitled "Revolutions" which portrays the evolution of national liberation movements in Angola, Guinea-Bissau and Portugal, has been on display since Wednesday, May 15, at the National Museum in the Brazilian capital, Brasília.
The exhibition is a joint initiative of the embassies of Portugal and Italy, as part of the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the April revolution, which put an end to Portuguese colonization in Africa.
