Full description

Quake is an immersive, room-by-room museum experience dedicated to earthquakes, built around the story of the 1755 disaster that reshaped Lisbon. Visitors move through several themed spaces that explain what causes seismic activity, then step into a sensory depiction of the event and its aftermath.

Amazing, amazing immersive expérience. You go through several rooms that explain earthquakes, what causes them, with very clear explanations. Very educational. The depiction of what happened after the earthquake is pretty interesting. The tour is about 1.5 hours, and you don't even notice the time passing by. Totally…
