Travel + LeisureSeptember 27, 2013What frescoes are to Italy, tiles, or azulejos, are to Portugal. East of Praça do Comercio, this museum is housed in a convent dating back to 1509. Don’t miss the tile panel of the city made in 1738.
Buford BarnesJune 22, 2012A 16th century convent and one of the most beautiful, converted to serve as a museum of ceramic tiles: a distinctive part of Portuguese culture, inherited from the Moors.
Pedro PitaMarch 10, 2017Amazing museum in Lisbon, very beautiful catalog of Azulejos and a magnificent 18th century chapel in amazing state. This museum, as many in portugal is free of charge in the 1st Sunday of every month
Bogdan D.July 9, 2018Although far from downtown and a little bit worn out, the museum is very distinctive for the Portugal culture. It boasts many azulejo treasures.Don’t miss the Lisboa panorama before the earthquake !
JAugust 13, 2017Beautiful museum and a perfect place to learn about the different types of azulejos that you see everywhere in Portugal. Not super central but OK connections by bus.
Emese TurchányiDecember 3, 2016The museum has their own free app as audio guide, wifi is available in the entrance. Bring your earphones and enjoy the exhibition!
MENU PortugalJuly 12, 2013Absolutely fascinating. Portuguese Art of Azulejo tiles making. Centuries of creating beautiful pieces. The exhibition is not huge maybe but def worth a visit - unique objects & beautiful building
Dasha ZaytsevaNovember 15, 2015Very beautiful exposition. Azulejo is something typically Portuguese, so it's a must visit. The ticket for adults is 5€
- Marc EscanuelasAugust 9, 2016A museum dedicated to Portugal's native tile. Don't miss the upstairs gallery that has a panoramic mural tile of Lisbon from before the earthquake.
Jeanette MaylandApril 24, 2019Nice museum about the Portoguese tiles situated in an old monestery and with a very charming garden
OlesyaMarch 26, 2018Definitely worth a visit. Wide selection of tiles of different eras and styles, and the building itself is amazing.
Yadviga YuslegkoJuly 22, 2015All types of azulejo exhibited chronologically ; you can take part in a workshop and paint your own tile.
ChinoiseriesAugust 2, 2015Small museum with many different styles of tiles, worth the visit. Drink a bica in the courtyard.
Vanessa RuedaOctober 6, 2015Good timing and rhythm in the route. Make sure you visit the panoramic view of Lisbon, you'll learn a lot without feeling tired
Mohammed AlhitmiOctober 8, 2015It sounds stupid and boring but this place is huge and filled with many interesting things
Leandro MachadoOctober 7, 2016Don't forget to see the panoramic tiles of historic Lisbon.The museum has a nice bar in the ground floor.
MarinaMarch 23, 2014Kind of a pain to get to, but worth it! If you go on Sunday before 2pm, entry's free
Eleftheria K.November 15, 2018If you love the azulejos you see all over Lisbon, this is the place to visit. Great interior!
Johann GrimmJuly 12, 2016It's just lovely to see. And cafeteria is very nice to stay for a while when it's warm and sunny.
Ma WoAugust 27, 2017It for sure needs more funds from the city. What a waste of potential, beautiful interiors of old church. Worth visiting! Take uber to get there.
Gunther VermeirSeptember 30, 2015Excellent courtyard terrace. Very relax place to drink something.. Besides the tiles..- Janut SuchatoApril 7, 2019Very beautiful art works done for centuries. Exquisite site worth visiting.
- Florian IsachsenSeptember 2, 2014If you're not particularly interested in tiles, it is worth a visit anyway since it is located in an old monastery!
MarkusSeptember 2, 2011Nice museum with interesting tiles and great frames. (Apple pie made without love - cake base with simple and tasteless stewed apples. Not worth to try)
- MENU PortugalAugust 22, 2013Very impressive although relatively small collection of this Portuguese art. Inspiring.
Your-Lisbon-GuideAugust 17, 2011Love this Museum Lots to learn. Grab a free audio guide in English. Read more- Your-Lisbon-GuideJanuary 22, 2012Wheelchair, blind & deaf friendly - love the details for the blind make it better for the sighted too.
Donal KaneMarch 17, 2014Great little museum with some wonderful tiles from throughout Portuguese history. Only disappointing tiles are the boring cheap ones in the toilets .. You'd think they might know of some better tiles!
Do not miss the cafeteria! Best apple pies in a 2 km radius.
Maria Fernanda GonzalezJanuary 4, 2016Meu museu favorito em Lisboa! A capela é insana de tão linda, e eles têm um painel que retrata Lisboa antes do incêndio que é incrível! Pra ir, pegamos o ônibus 742 perto da estação Saldanha.
Constant LrgOctober 30, 2015Ce musée excentré vaut le détour, le lieu est est très beau même si l'extérieur pourrait être rafraîchit. Le musée est très complet et donne même à voir la restauration des pièces en direct!
Olga LaninaAugust 12, 2014Несмотря на то что Лиссабон со старинными изразцами на фасадах сам по себе как музей азулежу,- Museu National do Azulejo посетить непременно стоит. Образцы азулежу- от старинных до самых современных
Patrícia SimõesMarch 1, 2015Um dos museus mais bonitos da cidade. Dá para conhecer a história do azulejo, perceber como eram produzidos, a evolução até aos nossos dias, passear pelo convento, sentar na esplanada a ler um livro.
Paulo JardimOctober 4, 2015Lugar fantástico com a história do azulejo em Portugal!! Desde o começo até épocas atuais!! Verdadeiras obras de arte, que são recorrentes em todo o Portugal! Ponto obrigatório para turistas!- Claudio ReginaldoDecember 17, 2014Fica no antigo Convento da Madre de Deus tem um acervo fantástico e muito maior do que se pode esperar. A capela revestida em ouro, com azulejos holandeses e obras barrocas é deslumbrante (1/2)
Adriene MeninoFebruary 3, 2015Um lugar especial, a arte da azulejaria é fascinante, obras de lindíssimas é muita história. O áudio guia é perfeito e ainda tem um restaurante com comida maravilhosa!
Fluying ✅January 14, 2018O museu inclui uma capela maravilhosa. observando bem, é possível encontrar uma versão alternativa da "última ceia" no primer andar.
Amanda DuarteApril 4, 2016Para turista: pesquise antes como chegar lá, há pouca sinalização para o museu. Lá tem WiFi e vc pode baixar um app com explicações dos azulejos. Não deixe de ver a capela e o painel no último andar.
- Claudio ReginaldoDecember 17, 2014Não existe sinalização da localização do Museu. Seguindo no sentido Estação Sta Apolônia–Estação do Oriente, fique atento quando entrar na rua Madre de Deus, o convento está logo após a Igreja (2/2)

"A small and mesmerizing collection about the Orient. Wonderful place, beautifully assembled. A bit tricky to access. And don't confuse it with the Gare do Oriente (at the other side of the city)"
