A trip to Italy in 1826\u20131827 was fundamental to his collection building, to the opening of the first private museum in Portugal, the Allen Museum in Porto (1837), and to the identity of one of Portugal\u2019s most important museums, the Museu Nacional de Soares dos Reis created in 1833 under a different designation. Allen\u2019s Grand Tour of Italy and his eclecticism were the cornerstone of the exhibition that took place in this museum in 2018. This article addresses the way in which the exhibition reflects the museum itself and recalls the formation of collections which are of great importance for the history of European museums due to what they reveal about the political and cultural circumstances of their times. Finally, we point out some possible developments concerning the permanent exhibition of the museum.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1550190620939975","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,15]],"date-time":"2020-07-15T03:32:37Z","timestamp":1594783957000},"page":"279-297","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["<i>Jo\u00e3o Allen: Collecting the World<\/i>\n                    : An Exhibition and Case Study of the First Private Museum in Portugal"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8470-2557","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laura","family":"Castro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Cat\u00f3lica Portuguesa, Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1550190620939975","first-page":"15","volume-title":"Jo\u00e3o Allen Coleccionar o Mundo","author":"Allen Jos\u00e9 Alberto.","year":"2018"},{"key":"bibr2-1550190620939975","unstructured":"Almeida Ant\u00f3nio Manuel Passos. \u201cMuseu Municipal do Porto: das origens \u00e0 sua extin\u00e7\u00e3o (1836-1940).\u201d Master\u2019s diss.
