Museums & Thematic Centres
Standing in a 1950’s building it is the result of a donation to the Porto City Council in 1978 from Marta Ortigão Sampaio, a remarkable figure of the Porto society, daughter of Vasco Ortigão Sampaio, an art collector and patron, and niece of the painters Aurélia de Souza and Sofia de Souza.
Opened to the public in 1996, it features permanent exhibitions of paintings, jewellery, furniture and other decorative arts, evoking a "bourgeois" environment from the first half of the 20th century.
The painting collection features naturalism works and the jewellery collection displays items dating from the 17th to the 20th centuries. The pieces range from some of the most expensive to the most traditional giving a great variety.
