Museu Nacional de Arqueologia

An informative small museum housed in the Jeronimos Monastery. It is not very large, but there are some interactive exhibits that allow you to touch certain ancient artefacts. The Stone Age and Roman era sections are quite well done. To enter the section with the gold artefacts one must go through security and put phones in clear plastic bags. There is no real need for this level of security (gold is not affected by cameras) and the actual artefacts are less impressive than in many other museums.

Get your tickets to the Monestary here! If you have time, this is a decent museum to get a sample of Portugal's past. It helps you compare and contrast to other places, as there are Roman, Egyptian, and other artifacts in this small museum. If you are here for less than three days, you may choose other more notable museums/sights (like the amazing neighboring Monastery and Cathedral). I wish there were clearer expectations of what is exhibited in the signage outside. The exhibits were nice, but not extensive nor expansive. The history of jewelery was my highlight. If you have visited Rome or Cairo before, you will not be impressed. You will leave more knowledgeable on Portugal though!

Cute little museum located right next door to the Jeronimos Monastery. Be careful that you don't confuse the line for the monastery with the line for the Archeology Museum.

My girlfriend is into archeology so we visited this museum which right next to Jeronimo's Monastery. It was an interesting experience and if you visit you will have the chance to see some pretty unique exhibits

Was a nice museum considering the Lisboa card covered it. There were some mummies sarcophagi pretty interesting. And also all the other Egipt stuff.

Part of the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos. Museum is good place to visit while you are visiting the monastery.

Unique usage of a damaged building. Also some interesting relics in a traditional setting. Takes about an hour if you look at all the items.

Small meusum with three sections: Egyptian antiquities, treasures of Portuguese archaeology and Religions of Lusitania(Portugal during the Roman era). The Egyptian antiquities part is all in Portuguese and no English but photography is allowed. The treasure of Portuguese archeology is photography prohibited but English is included. Only the Lusitania part is where you can take photos and it has English text support. Less than half an hour to see the whole meusum. I don't think it's worth the time. Only because it's located next to the Jerónimos Monastery I decided to see it.
