Pavilhão da Água, Science museum in Aldoar, Portugal
Pavilhão da Água is a science museum located in Porto that focuses on water and its role in nature and human life. The building features multiple exhibition areas with interactive displays that explain water cycles, environmental processes, and conservation principles.
The museum was established as an educational facility focused on water science and environmental awareness for visitors of all ages. It has grown into an important institution for teaching about water resources and conservation across northern Portugal.
