    • The Bridge Collection, an unusual museum where drink is at the heart of history

      No need to be thirsty to discover this archaeological museum that brings together a unique collection of ancient pieces dedicated to drinking. Open every day from 10am to 7pm, The Bridge Collection Museum is an unusual place to discover the rituals and customs of Gods, warriors, queens and emperors throughout 9,000 years of history.

      More than 2,000 objects are presented there, each one reflecting an entire civilization that toasted in its own way. Take the time to admire the beauty of the sculptures in precious stones and rock crystal, to discover the astonishing fluorescent glasses that glow in the dark with an intense green light, and to understand the evolution of the drink throughout history. More than a museum, The Bridge Collection Museum is a dive into the wonderful world of the drink.

      The little extra: an audio guide is available in Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, German and Korean

      The visit is not over and continues with the museums and the temporary exhibition present in WOW, a unique cultural district located in Vila Nova de Gaia. Restaurants allow you to take a break between the different spaces.

    Museu fantástico o que recomendo bastante. Saliento o colaborador Ivo Santos pela sua dedicação incansável, simpatia e aliada à sua notável competência e sabedoria profissional sendo um verdadeiro modelo a ser seguido. Tão jovem e do melhor que já vi. Tem um talento enorme e além do reconhecimento profissional declarado ser um excelente ser humano. Parabéns Ivo Santos pela sua apresentação na visita guiada que fez, foi verdadeiramente enriquecedora e sendo verdadeiramente um colaborador de excelência. Fui a diversos museus @wowporto e sem dúvida Ivo Santos o melhor dos melhores. O Mundo precisa de mais pessoas assim obrigada 🙏

    Pretty comprehensive collection. Edifying info. We didn't watch the videos (time was against us), so cannot attest to that element.
