National Museum of the Azulejo

What 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.

A 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.

Amazing 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

Although 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 !

Beautiful 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 .

The museum has their own free app as audio guide, wifi is available in the entrance. Bring your earphones and enjoy the exhibition ! 

Very beautiful exposition . Azulejo is something typically Portuguese, so it's a must visit. The ticket for adults is 5€

Absolutely 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

A 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 .

Nice museum about the Portoguese tiles situated in an old monestery and with a very charming garden

All types of azulejo exhibited chronologically ; you can take part in a workshop and paint your own tile.

Definitely worth a visit. Wide selection of tiles of different eras and styles, and the building itself is amazing.

Small museum with many different styles of tiles, worth the visit. Drink a bica in the courtyard .

Good timing and rhythm in the route. Make sure you visit the panoramic view of Lisbon, you'll learn a lot without feeling tired

It sounds stupid and boring but this place is huge and filled with many interesting things

Don't forget to see the panoramic tiles of historic Lisbon.The museum has a nice bar in the ground floor.

Kind of a pain to get to, but worth it! If you go on Sunday before 2pm, entry's free

It 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.

If you love the azulejos you see all over Lisbon, this is the place to visit. Great interior!

It's just lovely to see. And cafeteria is very nice to stay for a while when it's warm and sunny.

Excellent courtyard terrace . Very relax place to drink something.. Besides the tiles..

If you're not particularly interested in tiles, it is worth a visit anyway since it is located in an old monastery !

Very beautiful art works done for centuries . Exquisite site worth visiting.

Nice museum with interesting tiles and great frames. (Apple pie made without love - cake base with simple and tasteless stewed apples . Not worth to try)

beautiful collection of azulejos, beautiful museum !

Can't believe how many tiles there are in this museum . Well worth a visit.

It is a must to visit if you are in Lisbon

Amazing!! Cannot miss!

Very impressive although relatively small collection of this Portuguese art . Inspiring.

lovely tiles, nice garden in the cafeteria for hot sunny days

Amazing tiles and church highly recommended

Wheelchair, blind & deaf friendly - love the details for the blind make it better for the sighted too.

Wifi : MNAZ, pass: mnazmnaz

Park for free for 2 hours at the Lidl around the corner.

Great 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.

Great Lunch there today! Read more

Fantastic museum .

Meu 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.

Ce 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!

Несмотря 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

Um 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.

Lugar 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!

Fica 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)

Um 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!

O museu inclui uma capela maravilhosa. observando bem, é possível encontrar uma versão alternativa da "última ceia" no primer andar.

Para 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.

Adorei o museu , a história , a cultura...

Não 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)
