An amazing exhibition, a must do. - This was one of the, if not the most amazing exhibitions I have ever seen in Portugal. I’m very glad that the city of Porto, and the country itself is finally getting some good art exhibitions. Really really nice. Very well curated and very impactful. A must visit alone or with your family!

Disillusionment. - Funny exhibition, but clearly not worth the 10€. The contextualization of the works is weak. The exhibition route is not explicit.
