Hi,
It would be great if museums here in Portugal had the kind of initiatives and colaborations that other museums in other countries have; or at least more often.
It’s very rare to see a major exhibition or retrospective, with the exception of a few organized by a couple of major museums.

I checked this out last week, it’s really breathtaking. I’m not even religious, but you can really feel the emotion in this exhibit. Expensive though – $50 for me and my wife is a bit much for 2 hours.
