Serralves is a cultural institution located in Porto, Portugal, and one of the most important of all the country.〔(Siza's Serralves Foundation Museum ) Arcspace Magazine.〕 It includes a Contemporary Art Museum, a Park and a Villa, each one an example of contemporary architecture, Modernism, and Art Deco architecture. The Museum, designed by Álvaro Siza Vieira, is now the most visited museum in Portugal (more than 300,000 visitors per year) and one of the most relevant in the contemporary art circuit in Europe. ==Foundation== Serralves Foundation (''Fundação Serralves'') is an art foundation whose “mission is to raise the general public's awareness concerning contemporary art and the environment, via the Museum of Contemporary Art, Park and Auditorium”.〔(Mission Statement ) Fundação Serralves, Porto.〕 Serralves Foundation has extremely valuable heritage assets, constituted by the Museum, designed by the architect, Álvaro Siza Vieira, who won the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1992, the Villa (Casa de Serralves), a unique example of Art Deco architecture, and the Park which won the “Henry Ford Prize for the Preservation of the Environment” in 1997.〔(The Foundation ) Fundação Serralves, Porto.〕 The buildings of Serralves - Casa de Serralves, Park, Museum of Contemporary Art, Auditorium and Library - were jointly classified by the Portuguese State as a "Building of Public Interest" in 1999 and as a "National Monument" in 2012.〔(National Monument Classification ) The Directorate General for Cultural Heritage (DGPC), Portugal Government.〕 Serralves develops its activities around 5 strategic axes: Artistic Creation, Audience Formation and Awareness-Raising, The Environment, Critical Reflection on Contemporary Society and The Creative Industries. * Artistic Creation emphasizes on the fine arts, through constitution of a premier international contemporary art collection and an exhibitions program that features leading Portuguese and international artists, plus music, performing arts and film cycles that complement and enhance the exhibition program. * Audience Formation and Awareness-Raising is achieved through innovative programs, tailored to all audience segments and ages. An outstanding example of this is the annual festival, Serralves em Festa. * The Environment is enhanced by highlighting the Park as a public leisure zone merging art and the landscape. * Critical Reflection on Contemporary Society is developed through study and discussion of key contemporary issues, within the fields of the arts, social sciences, experimental sciences and politics. * The Creative Industries: The Foundation assumes a pioneering role, through the creation of (INSERRALVES ) (the first specialized creative industries incubator in Portugal), and its active contribution to ensuring that the North region becomes Portugal’s first creative industries cluster, via the (ADDICT ) association. The Foundation management model conciliates partnerships with Founders and cooperation with the State. There are currently 181 founders, including companies, private individuals and other institutions. Special Patron Status is reserved to Founders who stand out because of their ongoing commitment to Serralves, embodied through their contribution to the Annual Fund. The actual President of the Foundation is Luís Braga da Cruz, former Portuguese Finance Minister. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Serralves」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
