Can be visited from Tuesday to Sunday, from 10h to 18h (Friday until 22h). The entry costs 6€.

Amadeo from today in the Soares dos Reis

in 1916 there were those who said in the paintings of Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso (1887-1918), the exhibition then held in Porto also has served to stimulate the debate, say the attendants of the exhibition that from today it will rebuild at the National Museum of Soares dos Reis (MNSR) the initiative held a century ago. The art historian and curator of the exhibition Raquel Henriques da Silva reminds us that “what is being said in this exhibition is always an aspect anecdotal more castiço, that people have not realized anything, that was a scandal, that you spit to the tables, which have given him the beating.” But there is that to add that the exhibition of 1916, held in the Jardim Passos Manuel, in Porto, and Liga Naval Portuguesa, in Lisbon, led a discussion on what was the contemporary art. After the presentation in Porto, between 1 November and 1 January 2017, the exhibition will travel to Lisbon to the Chiado Museum, where it will inaugurate the 12th of the same mo nth.
