Pay a visit to the University of Porto's natural history and science museum. See the part of the collection currently open, and admire the planetary installations out front.
Full description
The Museu de História Natural e da Ciência da Universidade do Porto brings together university collections in natural history, science, botany and chemistry. It is undergoing major renovation, but a small portion of the collection can be visited for free in a modern, well-kept space.
Planetary decorations of the Earth, Moon and Mars stand in front of the building. Reviewers suggest returning once renovation is done, so check what is open before going.

Reviews
As other reviews mention, the museum is under renovation, but you can visit a small part of the collection for free. It's a modern, well maintained, and beautiful space, and I'd love to return when it's fully open. Certainly worth a shirt visit if you're in the area.
