Museu Nacional Soares dos Reis
The Museu Nacional Soares dos Reis (Soares dos Reis National Museum), named after the 19th-century sculptor Soares dos Reis,
is Porto's most important museum. It's housed in an impressive 1795 neoclassic edifice, occupied in the early 1800s during
the Peninsular War by first the French and then the English. The museum emphasizes works by dos Reis, with fine exhibits of
glass and porcelain; look for pieces from the famous Vista Alegre factory.
