In July 2020, Rato was appointed director of the Aljube museum. This is a former Estado Novo political prison that now serves as a museum in honour of those who opposed the regime. Since the announcement of the choice, several criticisms have arisen, referring to her lack of training in the area and of practical museological experience.[4][5]
