Museu Nacional de Arqueologia
Portuguese archaeology and settlement history at a Praça do Império museum currently listed as temporarily closed.
Founded in 1893 on the initiative of José Leite de Vasconcelos, it holds Portuguese archaeology collections. Its address is Praça do Império in Belém. Museus e Monumentos de Portugal lists it as temporarily closed; confirm reopening before travelling.
Our Belém guide covers what else is around. About 1 minutes' walk away is Mosteiro dos Jerónimos. If you do Cascais and Estoril along the coast, you can add this on your way back into Lisbon.
