Description

The Serralves Foundation (est. 1989) assumed as its mission to stimulate the interest and knowledge of audiences of different origins and ages in contemporary art, architecture, landscape and critical themes for society and its future, doing so in an integrated, based in an exceptional heritage set, in which the Museum of Contemporary Art, the House and the Park stand out.
The origin of the Serralves Park (Parque de Serralves) dates back to 1923 and its history can be divided into three key periods: the contours of the garden at the end of the 19th century, the garden designed by Jacques Gréber for Serralves Villa, and the landscaping of the Museum of Contemporary Art. The Serralves Park, as designed by Jacques Gréber, was considered to be one of the first examples of gardening art in Portugal of the first half of the twentieth century, and was the only garden built during this period by a private individual in Portugal, on the basis of a landscape architecture project (www.europeanhistoricgardens.eu/en/portfolio-item/park-of-pena-2).
