Why go, and how to fit it in
The university’s natural history and science museum puts minerals, temporary exhibitions and chemistry laboratory exhibits in front of you. The chemistry lab is what visitors talk about most, with free admission close behind. The mineral exhibition and temporary exhibitions appear in visitor comments as interesting. Visitors also bring up renovation and construction. It appeals to anyone curious about chemistry, minerals, or temporary exhibitions, and to visitors who want an indoor stop while exploring this part of Porto.
Go Tuesday to Sunday, 10 AM to 1 PM or 2 PM to 6 PM, and remember the Monday closure. The museum breaks for lunch, so choose one session rather than trying to cross the gap. An afternoon visit leaves room to linger if you arrive near 2 PM. Jardim da Cordoaria is 80 m away for a breather, and several monuments sit even closer around Campo dos Mártires da Pátria, among them Estátua de Ramalho Ortigão and Monument To António Nobre.
