In the baking heat and on a whim we decided to pop into the museum and were greeted by a lovely tour guide. It’s an interesting and insightful tour in a place that is genuinely interesting and well thought out. We also loved the cafe, which is well worth a visit. Friendly staff made it really special. Well worth including on a visit to Lisbon.

Amalia Rodrigues is well known outside of Portugal, but somehow we do not know much about her. Of course, such museums tend to add to the cult of a person, but my guide answered my questions very professionally and I feel I have a much better understanding of Amalia R‘s personality and why she was so important for Fado - not only her voce, but her own composing of fado music to poems of famous Portugues poets.

It is a very Special place with lively, original atmosphere of a Fado Singer .

I would recommand people who are interested in Fado singer's life to visit !

It has Amalia personal belongings in well keeping conditional - including stage dressing, causal dressing , 200+ pairs of shoses and her collections of antiques , paintings and home furnitures.
As a lady , it is a big joy to see the 40+ pairs shinning earrings on the display window :D to understand the taste of a Singing star !

Form the documentary pictures of Amelia , i think it is the easiest way to understand a singer's colorful life ! i am appreciated , they put the paintings. artworks from the Fans, school students on the wall when you go down the stairs. It makes the house so lively !

The guides are very informative , except they can tell the information about Amalia's career, concerts, personal relationships with different persons etc.

My experience is, the guide talk about the three years Amalia stay in Japan,
Japan government returns 300+ cherry tree seeds to Portugal :) and how does Amalia become representatives of Fado music ,her world tour etc.

Of course there are different ways, people would like to know about Amalia.
Just visit there :) you would have a suprise :)

If you are willing to have more interaction with them, they even can tell about historical topics about Lisbon liked 1755 earthquake, their country !

It makes my Friday morning ! i am very happy about the visit !

* you can say hello to the still living parrot from Amalia in the nice tiny garden :) i get a nice respond from him he makes some short musical phrase :D
