Museu do Oriente
Museu do Oriente presents Asian heritage at Doca de Alcântara Norte, within the administrative parish of Estrela.
Opened in 2008, the museum brings together the Presença Portuguesa na Ásia and Kwok On collections. It occupies Edifício Pedro Álvares Cabral, formerly refrigerated cod warehouses, in Estrela parish. Fundação Oriente publishes visitor information and a programme of exhibitions, workshops and performances.
It is in the Alcântara neighbourhood. If you have time, Village Underground Lisboa is 10 minutes on foot. On a rainy day, swap for Museu da Carris, the closest indoor option.
