We spent all day here! There was so much to see! We first enjoyed the current exhibition "Cerebra" which is an incredibly informative and interactive display of the workings of our brains, physiologically and neurologically, as well as exploring AI, the future of robotics, and mind control! Beautiful films and exhibits exploring the structure of our brains, as well as incredibly well written and accessible explanations in Portuguese and English. Completely fascinating! And then we went to the permanent collection - an awe-inspiring through the ages gathering of some of the finest examples of art, porcelain, silks, carpets, ancient egyptian treasures as well as paintings, furniture, clocks, and a room dedicated to the exquisite jewellery and glasswork of Lalique - mind blowing creations on such a tiny scale!. And then there are the great masters masterpieces and sculpture..... It is all presented in great beauty and with space to appreciate each object in its timeline. I enjoyed this a lot. We also went to the modern art and sculpture museum on the same site, with it's references to Portuguese history, which also houses an interesting collection of bronzes and other sculptures. The whole site is beautifully laid out with garden walks and ponds, The cafe is efficiently run serving a delicious selection of affordable food with very attentive staff too. Something here for everyone!
