MMIPO lets you learn about the history of the Holy House of Mercy in Porto, its institutional goals and art collections. The museum was opened on July 15, 2015, and in 2016 it was awarded the prize by the Portuguese Museum Association.

The association Santa Casa da Misericórdia do Porto itself was founded on March 14, 1499 and is a non-profit organization that plays an active and key role in responding to the social needs of the region. Of the various works of mercy in Portugal, Misericórdia do Porto is not only one of the oldest, but also one of the most important, also because of its valuable heritage presented in the museum.
