On January 14, 2024 (Sunday), we visited the museum. Please note that the museum is closed on Mondays. With the Porto Card, admission is complimentary.
Initially, the exterior of the building appears unremarkable. Even upon entering the first exhibit room, one might assume that the museum consists solely of a few paintings. However, this is not the case. There are two additional floors and a basement to explore.
Fortuitously, the museum guide was available and provided us with a comprehensive tour of the premises, offering detailed explanations of each exhibit.

Como historiadora, amante del arte y pintora amateur lo he disfrutado mucho y ha sido mi visita favorita de Oporto. Aunque mi visión es poco objetiva por lo que disfruto de estos lugares, recomiendo encarecidamente su visita. El precio es asequible y vale la pena...
