One day on our trip to Lisbon, it rained so we looked for something to do and came upon this which was near by. It's one of those museum's where you put on head phones and walk from room to room. It was really interesting. I sort of wish I'd gone before so I could have explored some of the places.
The pure genius of the man who rebuilt Lisbon after the earthquake, who's forward thinking makes you think "is time travel possible?" Just putting it out there lol

This is a audio guided exhibition that explains the history of Lisbon, which I think is nice and informative and I enjoyed learning about it.

The idea of quick history lesson on Lisbon was a good one and we enjoyed learning the early history up until just after the earthquake.

While the headsets were fine, it was not always clear where you were supposed to be looking. They adjusted as you moved from one part of the exhibitions to another. The trouble was that it was not clear where these divisions actually might be. So you were listening to one story and suddenly this drops out and you are into another.

There are numbers on the audio device but it was not clear if there were numbers on the exhibit itself - it would be useful if there was.

The earthquake story was very good and the rebuilding coverage interesting, too.

At the modern bit at the end, they showed photos of the grand square being used as a large car park in the 1960s - quite a shock and glad its used better today.

In terms of getting there, it is immediately on your right as you exit the Metro Terreiro du Paco stop. We missed it on the first walk by as we were looking at the square.
