Fundação Serralves

Visiting Fundação Serralves was a wonderful experience. The museum’s serene setting and modern architecture create an inspiring atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The exhibitions are thoughtfully curated, showcasing a compelling mix of contemporary art that kept me engaged throughout. Exploring the extensive gardens added to the overall experience, offering a peaceful escape alongside the artwork. The museum shop was a pleasant surprise, filled with unique art-inspired items and souvenirs that capture the spirit of the place. I found some beautifully designed gifts to take home, making the visit even more memorable. Overall, Serralves is a must-visit for art lovers, combining cultural depth with a relaxing, satisfying outing.

Wonderful museum for fans of modern and contemporary art and architecture. The museum is far larger than anticipated surrounded by a well maintained garden.

Maybe I went on an off day but a lot of the exhibition places and the art deco house were closed. For 24 euro I would have expected a lot more. Unless you are really into experimental or contemporary art (i.e. a lot of videos/movies) I would skip. The gardens are nice and have some interesting art pieces, but not worth the money or the trip as it is far from the city center.

Only visited the gardens and felt that it was bit overpriced for what was on offer. The treetop walk was lovely and my favourite was the Yayoi Kuzama Narcissus Garden art on the little lake -1200 polished spheres that the wind blows around.

I was rushing to places, so i was only able to visit the contemporary art museum, the treetop walk and like... 10% of the garden. Got to see the beautiful curated Kusama exhibition at the art museum, but i wish i had more time to explore and visit the light exhibition at night!

The forest and gardens were absolutely stunning, and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring them. The architecture of the buildings was breathtaking. However, the museum experience was a big disappointment. The exhibits were poorly presented, some projections didn't work, and the staff were unfriendly. The high cost of admission made it even more disappointing. With better management, this place has the potential to be fantastic. Despite the museum's shortcomings, the gardens are worth a visit, especially for families. The tree-top walkway is amazing. I'd recommend paying only for the garden experience, as it's truly lovely, but the museum isn't worth the expensive admission fee of 22 euros per person.

Exhibition centre itself is modern and quite nice. Many exhibitions for different tastes. There were few pieces that catched the eye. In my case I didn't get or I don't understand modern art with many sketches that were simply vulgar and inappropriate. That is why only 3/5 stars from me Unfortunately at the moment we arrived it was heavy raining so we weren't able to see all the garden.

Amazing place, lots of nature, farm with a couple of animals and art gallery, I highly recommend.
