[PT]No Museu de Alberto Sampaio tudo se conjuga para deixar o visitante com vontade de cá voltar.
Na visita emocionamo-nos sem saber porquê. Serão as peças ou será o espaço? Ou será que são as peças naquele espaço? O certo é que o visitante sente serenidade e se deixa encantar pela beleza do conjunto. A uns, encanta-os as obras-primas legadas pelos mestres ourives, a outros toca-os a serenidade de Santa Maria de Guimarães ou o sorriso de Santa Maria «a Formosa». E todos se deixam emocionar junto ao loudel que D. João I envergou na Batalha de Aljubarrota e ao tríptico de prata dourada que o mesmo monarca ofereceu a Santa Maria de Guimarães.
Este é, também, o único museu nacional que abre as suas portas no período nocturno, nos meses de Julho e Agosto.

MUSEUM
At the Museu de Alberto Sampaio everything combines to make the visitor wish to come back.
During the visit, without understanding why, emotion takes over. Is it the pieces or is it the space? Is it the pieces in that space? Certain is that the visitor feels serenity and is enchanted by the beauty of the whole. Some are enchanted by the masterpieces left by the master gold and silversmiths, others are touched by the serenity of Santa Maria de Guimarães or by the smile of Santa Maria “a Formosa”. And everyone is moved by the gambeson D. João I wore at the Battle of Aljubarrota and by the silver gilt triptych the same monarch offered to Santa Maria de Guimarães.
This is also the only national museum that opens its doors at night, in the months of July and August. Visiting this “museum at night” is an unforgettable experience.
