National Museum of Ancient Art

10 Best Museums in Lisbon | Condé Nast Traveler

"Treasures abound at the National Museum of Ancient Art, where paintings, sculptures, furniture, ceramics, textiles, gold, and silverware capture Portugal’s riveting history from the Middle Ages through the 19th century. If you can make peace with the fact that you won’t see the museum in its entirety, forge ahead with a visit. Do leave time for the Panels of St. Vincent, a 15th-century sextet of paintings by Nuno Gonçalves; the 16th-century ivory salt cellar that survived its journey from the West Coast of Africa to Portugal; and Albrecht Dürer’s portrait of St. Jerome." - Alia Akkam
