Great Andy Warhol collection. A very unique experience to learn more about the life of one of the most well-known artists of the past 100 years and how he influenced society nowadays (for example by respecting minorities or motivating everyone to exploit their artist side - which can be understood as a very early stage of what we see nowadays on social media like YouTube, Instagram or TikTok). As part of the tour you will get to watch several movies which allow you to get a perception of the artist’s lifestyle, state of mind and influences throughout his career - something which is very uncommon and rare to have existing footage. On top, the collection includes several pieces from other artists which were inspired by Andy’s work.

The house of Sao Roque, where Marques da Silva worked from the 1900 to 1911 is incredibly special! The Ana Jotta design of the gardens is just unique, and I strongly recommend visiting. Can't wait to go back and soak up the culture and the beauty of this magical place. A place I would visit, with family, with my beloved, but also where I can visit alone but never feel lonely - Just wonderful!

Casa São Roque is nowadays a must when visiting Porto! Jotta’s impressive collection is integrated in the historical house, which has been recently restored. While visiting one can appreciate the collection’s incredible art and also feel how it would be to live as a Portuguese noble over than 100 years ago. On top, its great location in the heart of Porto, the beautiful winter garden and the close by Sao Roque Park make the visit memorable! Definitely recommend!

Uma pérola escondida na parte oriental do Porto. A recuperação do palacete Ramos Pinto é exemplar. A galeria de arte moderna é muito eclética. Tivemos a sorte de ter uma visita guiada pelo director do museu que tornou a experiência muito mais enriquecedora. Sorte para o projecto.
