Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Serralves

They use the word "art" wrong here. The museum is actually just a big tax write off, I'm not sure how the people who genuinely like this are real. It feels like I've walked inside a cult building and forced to think a apple on a string is somehow thought-provoking. It's not, in reality nothing shown is art, apple on a string, a line on a piece of paper and some weights on the floor are just lazy tax write offs. Don't visit this place for "art", please find a place which actually deserves the word and actually showcases amazing art.

I'm so happy that I went to see this museum on my last day in Porto. It is located quite away from the main city centre but can easily be reached if you get an Uber or taxi. The front entrance has a beautiful grill gate but overall it is very unassuming until you go through and see the museum itself and their sprawling gardens that also displays their outdoor sculpture collection and has a rose garden, tea house, and lots more that I just couldn't walk any more to see. But the highlight for me was that I was able to catch the incredible Yayoi Kusama exhibition. It was impressive especially since I am such a fan of her work. It was a great way to end my trip to Porto!

5 ⭐️ the park - it’s lovely and worth seeing, the museum itself is ok-ish. The only thing is that you need to go there during the day as there is no lights in the park after dark.

If you are in Porto, undoubtedly you should take a day to visit the museum. The architecture of the building, with its simplicity and straight lines offer well divided spaces to explore. Besides, the natural light which filters in every room together with the framed-landscapes of the garden, makes a very pleasant experience. The garden in itself is another beauty.

Best museum in Porto by far. Definitely go and take time to explore all the different installations and the park. A bit pricey and far from the center though

The entrance of the foundation is under construction, so if you want to go to the gardens, you need to go to the museum building, buy tickets, then backtrack to the garden entrance. The purple hair receptionist was curt and didn’t help us at all. She just told us the price, then said the exhibits were that way. We wanted to go to the gardens first and she was not helpful. Gardens are beautiful and great for a picnic! We brought lunch and sat in front of the awesome pink building for an hour. It was delightful. The tree walk, pond, and farm were all excellent as well. The Kusama show was fantastic! Not crowded and well curated… even though I’m not a fan of her most recent work. I was very surprised at the size of the exhibit. It continues downstairs and is 2x larger than I initially thought. The new wing of the museum is beautiful, but is very large, and it’s kind of easy to get lost.

Would go again just for the gardens and pink villa. Absolutely insane at sunset, so so beautiful. Museum great too, best to have whole day set aside

Walking the thin lines between insanity and genius is to walk in the paths of Yayoi Kusama. We visit her exhibit in the museum of the art in Porto at night so we can fully explore the light and sounds exhibition. It awoken all emotions in us. From Erie, disturbing and weird to a pure beauty and owe. We spent hours walking in the museum park and hanging bridges. We took pictures and recorder video clips but watching it afterwards doesn't bring back the attached emotion. In the part that kept me speechless you can see how Kusama used a fan water fountain as a screen to project her images. It was a celebration of light, movement, and music.
