MUSEUS DA CIDADE
A museum project of the municipality of Porto, whose aim is to (re) discover Porto under different aspects.
Formerly Museu da Cidade. A project of the Porto municipality, it brings together several museums or spaces located from west to east of the city, with the aim of (re)discovering Porto from a variety of angles. The project consists of highlighting various social, geographical and artistic points of view through 16 "stations", such as archaeological sites, a water reserve, artists' houses, an industrial area, historical archives... In other words, the Museu do Porto has been conceived as an astonishing itinerary to be followed, with stages (museum-spaces) that allow visitors to question themselves about the city, its thousand-year-old history and its cosmopolitan identity, in order to enrich their knowledge. This project offers a new perspective on the cidade invicta. You can check the opening dates for the various locations on the Internet.
