    Needs some effort

    If you know about history and geology this museum would be fine but otherwise it would be quite poor and boring. As you enter you are given a folder of information in your given language but because it doesn't have a lot of information it...More

    Excellent and diverse museum

    Thoroughly enjoyed this museum, and it's free entry with the Lisbon city card. It mainly houses a variety of fossils and artefacts. Pleasant way to spent 1-2 hours
