Who we are

At the World of Discoveries, the history of Portugal during the Age of Discovery is not just told… it is lived. In a playful interactive space, located inside the old warehouses of Real Companhia Velha, in Miragaia, in the historic center of Porto, we have combined technology and art, and created an immersive, unique and differentiated experience that appeals to all the senses and transports visitors to the heart of the action of the conquests carried out by the Portuguese in maritime voyages and explorations between 1415 and 1543.

We opened our doors to the public on April 25, 2014, and since then, we have become one of the most renowned and visited exhibitions in the country, offering a multisensory experience that reconstructs the fantastic odyssey of Portuguese navigators during the Age of Discoveries.
