    • The Cork Museum, the discovery of a wonderful natural world in Porto

       

      Cork and Porto are intimately linked since each bottle of this delicious Portuguese fortified wine is closed with a cork stopper, a 100% sustainable and versatile material. Upon arrival, a magnificent cork oak welcomes you, a surprising replica that introduces this unique visit.

       

      Sound, image, decoration… everything is done to immerse you in the ecosystem where cork evolves, offering you a fun and interactive experience around this material. From harvesting to the production of corks, from nature to transformation, discover all the secrets of cork and its usefulness that goes beyond the wine world.

       

      Interior decoration, world architecture, NASA rocket, surfboard, handbag or jewelry, cork is incredible and allows you to give free rein to your imagination. Creativity has no limits in Portugal, the largest cork producing country on the planet.

       

      The little extra: an audio guide is available in Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, German and Korean.

       

      Immerse yourself in a unique cultural district in Porto, where museums are gathered as well as a temporary exhibition and restaurants to experience a memorable day in Vila Nova de Gaia.

    Planet cork was very insightful. I had no idea that cork was such a versatile and powerful material. From applications in architecture to aerospace to furniture and fashion, the possibilities are truly endless. I developed a deep appreciation for Portugal and its cork industry. The cork oak is an amazing tree but requires patience to harvest the best cork, nearly 43 years for the third harvest which produces the best quality cork. Anyways, you must see for yourself. After the museum we visited the cork shop where Flavia was very kind and helpful. She answered all of our questions about cork wallets, hats and purses. We walked away with some good products and are delighted to support the museum and Portugal’s cork industry. Now off to get some vinho do Porto.
