10 Best Museums in Lisbon | Condé Nast Traveler

"If you've been in Lisbon for a minute, you've probably heard fado music somewhere—in a restaurant or cafe, or a bar dedicated to the brooding tunes. It's one of Portugal’s cultural legacies. Get to know the art form with an immersive experience at this Alfama museum: Photographs, posters, musical instruments, and other artifacts chart the rise of fado from its 19th-century roots to today. Look for José Malhoa’s dreamy portrait O Fado , Constantino Fernandes’ lively depiction of port life O Marinheiro , and an ode to the Portuguese guitar." - Alia Akkam
