the renovated Natural History and Science Museum of the University of Porto plays host to the National Geographic exhibit themed "Um Século e Tanto" ["Quite a Century", free translation], from 18th October 2019 till 19th July 2020.

This display, which celebrates 130 years of National Geographic's important work in the world, features objects, photographs, maps and excerpts of documentaries, captured by National Geographic collaborators over a century and three decades, for example, Jane Goodall's cuddling a newly born chimp or the discovery of Machu Picchu.

The exhibition is divided in nine sections, where visitors can get acquainted with the first years of the National Geographic Society, its present and future, as well as its mission.

The exhibition can be visited from Tuesday to Sunday, from 10am until 6pm (last entries at 5.30pm), at the Natural History and Science Museum of the University of Porto.
