Description

Housed in a beautifully restored 16th-century building on Rua das Flores, MMIPO pairs a museum of religious art and Porto history with the ornate Church of Misericórdia, home of the famous Renaissance painting Fons Vitae. Kids can hunt for gilded carvings, centuries-old portraits and the upper gallery looking down into the church. The visit is fully indoors and largely wheelchair and stroller friendly (only the church choir is not accessible), and takes about an hour — a good fit for school-age children curious about art and history.
