About this tour
This session covers Cedofeita and the galleries of Rua Miguel Bombarda, from Juan Muñoz's laughing figures in the Cordoaria garden to the street's independent art spaces. The camera looks in on several gallery windows, passes the old haberdasheries of Rua de Cedofeita, and finishes at the Romanesque church and the Bombarda arcade courtyard. It follows Porto's contemporary art district rather than its historic centre.
The call opens with a sound check, then moves through the three stops in order, with the guide pointing out current shows and explaining the district's shift from shops to galleries. Questions are taken throughout, and a short list follows once the call ends.
This suits anyone interested in contemporary art and gallery districts, whether planning a visit to Porto or curious what the city's art scene looks like now.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
