Review:

Located in Fundação Serralves, the Museu Serralves (Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art) is a world-class museum of contemporary art. Opened in 1999, the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art is housed in a striking minimalist building designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Alvaro Siza Vieira and displays cutting-edge international art. The open spaces and sharp angles for the building create an exquisite space for showcasing the museum’s collection, which spans from the 1960s to the present, representing the beginning of the contemporary art movement. The collection showcases a variety of modern concepts in various media and styles from pop art and minimalism, to film and photography. Eighteen hectares of exquisitely manicured formal gardens designed by French architect Jacques Gréber lie next to the museum and feature striking sculptures, tranquil ponds, and ornate fountains.
