Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga

Nice little museum in Lisbon. 12 Euro for 4 people (2 of which were student discounts). It has a good amount of art. When I think ancient in europe, I think more of pre 1000 AD, but there was a good amount from after that time frame. Good amount of paintings, but also a good collection of jewelry, silver/​gold/​platters, etc. when we went, there was also a chair exhibit, however, it was closed due to lack of workers or something. Go if you have a chance

My trip to Lisbon wasn’t just about food and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and more drink. I gots me some culture too!
This museum is excellent… and no, I am not just saying that. It offers an opportunity to view and admire some of Portugal’s most talented artists and beyond.
The floor plan is nicely layer out and easy to navigate. It’s not overly crowded (at least the day we were there), and offers the museum goer nice views of the exhibits.
The café (located on the lower level) is a nice place to take a break and is situated by a nice tranquil garden that has spectacular views of the water and the city as it’s backdrop.

Excelente museu. Além da colecção permanente (famosos Painéis de São Vicente; o tríptico «Tentações de Santo Antão» do holandês Jheronymus Bosch; a escultura em pedra da Fonte Bicéfala; entre muitas outras peças datadas entre os séculos XII e XIX.) acolhe outras exposições temporárias. Presentemente, exibe a exposição intitulada «A Paisagem Nórdica do Museu do Prado» até 30 de Março. Oportunidade para ver ou rever os grandes mestres do século XVII: Rubens; Brueghel e Lorrain.
A entrada das exposições temporárias é paga (6 €); mesmo ao Domingo de manhã, enquanto que a colecção e exposições permanentes são de acesso gratuito aos Domingos até às 14h.
A passagem pela Cafetaria do MNAA é obrigatória, sendo o acesso feito pelo átrio até à cave.

Although this is a bit faraway from the centre of Lisboa it is situated in a pretty trendy neighborhood, Santos. You will find nearby venues totally different from this one, such as clubs, bars, discos, restaurants and fancy shops.
This is a museum that glorifies ancient Portuguese art, the most famous piece that is on display is the Tryptic of King Henry, Portugal’s greatest leader that allowed it to become the biggest nation in the World, it was because of this man that Portugal discovered most of the modern World.
The museum is divided in paintings, sculpture and china. Its influences came from India, China, Japan, Africa and several other places. The museum is a bit old but has been slowly renovating itself and it still is a very pleasant place to go for a walk, the entrance fee is around 4EUR, which isn’t a lot and it is quite a big museum, with a nice coffeeshop and a lovely garden with amazing views!
