The Casa-Museu Marta Ortig\u00e3o Sampaio is one of the quiet treasures of Porto: the house of a family of collectors, kept as it was lived, with its paintings, its jewellery and its furniture. Among its rooms hang works by the painters of the Souza family \u2014 Aur\u00e9lia de Souza and Sofia Martins de Souza \u2014 two of the great names of Portuguese art at the turn of the twentieth century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The house-museum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The house belonged to Marta Ortig\u00e3o Sampaio, who left it to the city of Porto to become a museum. Its collections gather paintings, jewellery and decorative arts, in the intimate setting of a lived-in house: the portraits and scenes of Aur\u00e9lia de Souza, the work of her sister Sofia, and the objects of a refined Porto family of the early twentieth century. It is a museum of atmosphere, where the visit feels like a visit to a house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
