French design is a continuation of the decorative arts culture and has an undeniable cultural legacy related to the manufactured objects of daily use. The Soares dos Reis Museum is one of the most important museums in Porto. Its century-old camellias garden and the adjacent Velódromo Maria Amélia, where cycling events were held, tennis was played and strolled in the vegetable garden. In this meeting space between worlds, a space is open for a conversation between the interior of the museum, its collections, and the outside parts, a natural space where nature grows without constraints, towards the questioning of human impact on the planet, artefacts representations and stories and the idea of what a museum should be.
