In this magnificent residence designed by the famous architect Siza Vieira are exhibited great names of contemporary art.

In a magnificent house designed by the famous contemporary architect Siza Vieira, the works are hung with great skill and thoughtfulness, taking into consideration the clarity, information and space of the place. The museum offers modular and adaptable spaces for the different exhibitions with an ingenious play of light. Everything is studied in detail, from the designs of the toilets to the staircase railings.

Outside, the Parque de Serralves (18 ha) extends the pleasure of the eye: designed by Jacques Gréber in 1932, it begins with a formal garden before descending into a succession of square pools surrounded by pruned boxwood. One then arrives at a small panorama overlooking a miniature lake with an island, where the vegetation is carefully left to itself in its controlled disorder. On the way, a visit to the "Casa de Serralves" which dominates the park is a must. Its art deco architecture from the 1930s, designed by French architect Charles Siclis, places it in the network of the most remarkable houses in the world. The foundation also organizes concerts and video art projections.

At the end of May, beginning of June, "Serralves em festa" is organized, 50 hours of free and non-stop programming of music, theater and dance in the gardens and the museum. There is also a bookstore in this space with a very interesting collection of documents in the arts. A cafeteria on the first floor offers a large buffet every lunchtime. A place not to be missed!

Art et nature
Musée d'art contemporain essentiellement avec des oeuvres d'artistes portugais, mais pas que. Le parc dans lequel il se trouve est une oasis de paix et de verdure et possède, entre autres, une "treetop walk" qui ravit les visiteurs. Bien qu'il ne soit pas au centre-ville, il est facilement accessible en transports en commun.

Un peu en dehors du centre mais vaut le détour surtout pour le parc urbain qui est juste magnifique avec quelques oeuvres. La villa art déco est magique. Peut-être que 20€ est un peu exagéré car les expos se visitent très vite.

Un site incontournable
Le musée est un peu excentré mais facilement accessible en bus depuis le centre de Porto. On peut facilement y passer toute une journée entre la visite du musée d'art contemporain, la villa art déco ou le magnifique parc arboré et ses installations artistiques. Pour les 30 ans de la fondation un super parcours dans les arbres a été créé. En semaine, le restaurant propose un très bon buffet entrée, plat, dessert à prix raisonnable.

Accès facile bus 207 depuis le centre (place Joao I) vers Mercado da Foz.
Magnifique musée contemporain.
La surprise venant de la Casa Villa, remarquable maison Art Nouveau portugais, avec un rare jardin dans le même style.
