📖

Full description

The National Museum of Science and Natural History combines preserved animal specimens, such as fish and birds, with anthropological artefacts in a landmark Lisbon setting. Visitors note that some galleries have been fully renovated while others are still waiting for the same treatment, so the experience varies from room to room.

A standout is the exhibition on Portugal's colonial legacy, which reviewers single out as a strong learning opportunity. Interest in science, nature and history makes it a rewarding, family-friendly stop, and about an hour covers the highlights.

Reviews

A place to visit. Lots of fantastic thinks to see. Above all you can not miss the exibition about our invisible colonial legacy. A unique opportunity to learn that there was no luso-tropicalismo. A must.
