    Beautiful exhibition of works of Ar. Souto Moura. Must visit for architects and students of architecture.

    This is not a museum of architecture. Don't go there thinking you will learn about Portuguese architecture, they make temporary exhibition. Right now it's about a Brazilian architect that was mostly panels. So meh.

    Great quality. Nice, very polite service. Food is fancy but good. Fine selection of wines. On the expensive side, but there are reasonably priced choices.

    The space is very beautiful with very cheerful staff, the expositions were very interesting filled with information. The videos they showed us were very well inserted as well as the music that played along side it.

    Quite interesting exhibition about the unbuilt and partly completed projects of Matosinhos. Well put together, really worth the price. The concrete staircase block at the entrance is pretty impressing.

    A memorably repurposed, sprawling wine facility that is worth the half-hour tram ride from Porto.

    Exhibition is way too expensive for the quality. You better visit shop and check some of their books and products for free. and check the site and building outside. Exhibition was totally waste of money.

    One of the best architectural bookshops I have ever seen, probably one of the best in the world.

    Incredible repurpose of a former winery, turned into the Portuguese Arquitecture Center. It also hosts the Matosinhos Jazz Orchestra.

    Second time there. This time there was no one else there, which is both nice and a shame. They did a really nice job in putting the architecture pieces together. There was also video complementing the set. All on all, this is a nice way to spend a couple of hours if you are looking for a culture booster in Matosinhos, particularly if you are interested in architecture and local history.

  • 5/5 Indrek N. 4 years ago on Google
    Houses of architecture are important for all architects

  • 3/5 Jose C. 4 years ago on Google
    Expensive for what you can get. A lot of space misused.

  • 4/5 Tim S. 4 years ago on Google
    Impressive collection and interesting shows. The overall orientation could be improved—-which shows are on and when.

    Finally they do something here :)

  • 5/5 Leticia G. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing work of Restoration and Architecture, respecting the old building and the new increases more value to the place giving it more balance and contemporary aesthetics. Great exhibitions and beautiful shop. A place to go!!!
