The Galeria Municipal do Porto marks International Museum Day with a series of guided tours focusing on its current art exhibitions. These tours are organized by the gallery's educational department to provide deeper insights into the displayed works and the curatorial themes. The initiative aims to engage visitors with contemporary art practices and the role of municipal galleries in the cultural landscape of Porto.

Attendees can join a guided exploration of the gallery's spaces and artworks. The tours are conducted in two separate sessions: one in Portuguese starting at 3:00 PM and another in English at 4:00 PM. Each session offers an opportunity for direct interaction with a guide, fostering a closer understanding of the art. The Galeria Municipal do Porto is a modern exhibition space, typically presenting contemporary art.

Admission to these guided tours is free of charge. No prior booking is required; visitors can simply arrive at the gallery before the scheduled start times. The Galeria Municipal do Porto is located within the Palácio de Cristal gardens, accessible by a short walk from the Carolina Michaelis metro station or various bus routes serving the Palácio.

Featured in May 14-20, 2026 — the weekly Oporto Weekly edition.
