The Museu de Alberto Sampaio is situated in a multisecular building, in the heart of the Historic Centre of Guimarães, which is, since 2001, a World Heritage Centre.
It is a construction of high patrimonial value, with several levels of classification, which brings about limits in terms of interventions of a structural nature. So, at the moment, the Museum doesn’t have access ramps or lifts and the access to the main entrance and to the exhibition rooms is made through stairs.
