Absolute surprise full of very interesting info! We did not plan this at first, but out of all Portuguese museums we visited, this was the best. You get just the right amount of knowledge but in an interesting and captive way. Models, info, venue. Do not miss!

The museum gave a great sense of the age of exploration as it showed the techniques and conditions sailors of the far and near past experienced. The displays were high quality and well worth the two hours we spent wandering the halls.…
