The Serralves Foundation is a cultural institution with a contemporary vision of Art and Landscape, and is considered to be one of Portugal’s leading cultural institutions. The Foundation’s entire landscape and architectural heritage was classified as a National Monument in 2012. It consists of the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Casa do Cinema Manoel de Oliveira (both designed by the architect Álvaro Siza), Serralves Villa (a unique example of Art Deco architecture), and the 18-hectare Serralves Park with the pioneering Treetop Walk: an elevated walkway close to the treetops.

It was another rainy day that quashed some of our exploration of the wonderful park within the museum complex walls. They have both permanent and temporary sculptures throughout the park area. At the ticket area one can get a map of the museum and gardens with all of the sculptures well labeled and the paths well delineated. We visited two of the major buildings. The first was the art deco house where a temporary exhibition of Paula Rego was presented. The large pink structure has several mirrored doors and some art deco features like a fireplace and a bathroom of the former residence. There are some nice views of the surrounding park from many of the large windows. The major contemporary art portion is in a contemporary white angular building with a central exhibition space with large wings on either side. It has three floors. A bookshop is contained in this building as well as several coffee shops and a cafeteria. The museum shop is in a small structure on the way to entering the park. At the time of our visit the museum contained several temporary contemporary art exhibitions. We did not see any of the permanent collection perhaps because a conference was occurring in the museum and a portion in the basement was closed.
