Fine art is always an engaging topic and an experience to be shared with family or friends, and as of 13th July, the Museum of FC Porto features the exhibition themed "Dragõezinhos Ilustrados" ("Illustrated little Dragons", free translation), at the multipurpose room.

The exhibit also offers activities delivered by the Educational Service of the Museum and is targeted at all ages.

The exhibit brings together "works that are brought to life in the pedagogical and fun world of the Dragon Land" and that inspires the creative duo Luís Veiga and Pedro Tavares, the authors of the illustrations and characters of the activities delivered by the FCP Museum Educational Service.

"Little fans and heroes of a blue and white world jump into colourful narratives to describe the spirit of each caption" and where "music, theatre, tales, history, art, culture and entertainment intertwine", not only for the younger but also for grown-ups, as emphasised by FC Porto.

This event is ongoing till 20th September and entrance is free. Under the context of the current pandemic, there are rules to comply with, namely maximum number of visitors.

It is worth recalling that the Museum FC Porto was granted the "Clean&Safe" certification, by the Turismo de Portugal, and the "Safe Travels", of the World Travel & Tourism Council, which ensures that the Museum complies with all the recommendations by the health authorities to provide safe hospitality to all visitors.

Also worth emphasizing is that the Portuguese Museology Association - APOM - distinguished the projects "Histórias na Cidade" and "Rota do Dragão", of the Museum of FC Porto, and in 2015, the APOM had already awarded the Innovation and Creativity Prize to the Museum FC Porto, which is also the first Associate Member of the World Tourism Organisation of the United Nations.
