Museu Nacional do Azulejo
Portugal's tile museum, in the former Convento da Madre de Deus, from the 15th century to today; closed for works.
Temporarily closed: see it from outside and check for reopening
The museum was founded in 1965 and occupies the former Convento da Madre de Deus, established in 1509 by Queen D. Leonor. Its collection covers tiles from the second half of the fifteenth century to the present. The official website says it is closed for PRR-funded works; check the reopening before planning a visit.
It is in the Xabregas e Beato neighbourhood. If you have time, Teatro Ibérico is 4 minutes on foot. On a rainy day, swap for Museu do Fado, the closest indoor option.
