This is included on the Lisboa card. It's a little out of the way but worth the trip on the bus. I'm giving it five stars mainly because of the glorious church that you enter about half way through your visit. It wouldn't be out of place in Versailles. The rest of the museum is interesting and many of the tile displays are impressive (especially the panorama of Lisbon towards the end), but it doesn't quite live up to the church. There is a small (somewhat disappointing) gift shop on site as well as toilets and a fairly reasonably priced cafe that has a pleasant garden area.

The museum was nice, but fairly small. I was expecting bigger or more intricate designs but it was mainly very similar religious imagery throughout. It was also quite a bit out of the way. Nothing else to see in the area. The cafe was very cute though. There was also a cool courtyard in the middle.

This museum was definitely one of the highlights of our three days in Lisbon. It is housed in an old church and monastery which was extensively decorated with blue tiles. The showpiece is a magnificent Baroque church with extensive blue tiling. Definitely don’t miss this part. The other rooms house spectacular examples of tile art through the centuries. A must for culture and history buffs.

It is very impressive to see that there is a museum dedicated to the tiles. At first it may seem like little, but it is highly recommended. In the collection there are tiles from several centuries ago, of different styles and colors. On the top floor there is a panoramic image of Lisbon all made in tile as well. The church that is part of the museum is very impressive. Highly recommended the visit. On Sundays it is free until 2 PM for residents in Portugal.

Lovely museum however there wasn't much to see there. We paid 5 euro for an adult ticket and 2.5 for a student which was completely fine, however don't expect much. There are a few nice compositions to see, make sure to check out their cafe and get some coffee and cake (see pics) It's so lovely to sit there outside in the shade and appreciate the moment.

I think this is a must-see in Lisbon, totally worth the 5e ticket, the exposition is really large and beautiful. Also the garden is very pretty. We spent approx 1 hour there. You can pay with card.

When in Lisbon, you should visit this place. The whole museum has been merged with a church I suppose. The ceiling works and paintings in the church are astonishing. The tile works, both ancient and the contemporary are definitely worth the visit. There is a small gift shop and also a very cozy and beautiful Cafe there. There is a lift to the upper floors as well.

The museum was super sweet once you get inside and there is more than just tiles. Some of the paintings and other stuff inside is incredible. The only down side is the location, kind of hard to get there and away from it. Was able to get student discount here and that definitely made it worth it.

It's a must-see, one-of-a-kind attraction, housed in a magnificent old convent from 1509, and with a collection featuring pieces going back to the 1400s. It explains the origins and evolution of the art in Portugal, which ended up being the country with the vastest and most innovative uses of tiles. Strongly recommend!

Very historcal and very historically interesting. 😁 And actually very, very beautiful! If you take yourself an actual guide you can spent a day inside and still learn only half of this rich Portuguese tradition. There's a place to make a pause and enjoy a open air terrace of a restaurant inside the museum. And then keep on exploring history. For the ones that love history and art it's the perfect combination! 😉👍🏻

Loved this museum. There is a lovely cafe with an outdoor terrace on the ground floor, too. Beware that the museum closes from 13:00 to 14:00 and people must leave the exhibition halls. I suppose visitors can have a lunch and finish their visit after 14:00 o'clock. Since I was about to leave when the staff informed me about them closing, I left just before 13:00.

Definitely one of the best things to see in Lisbon, it is a very unique museum! I loved not only the old tiles, but also the modern interpretation of this art and the place itself with the church inside is magnificent! If you only have time for two museums in Lisbon, let this be one of them.

Great museum in an incredibly beautiful building! The chapel is closed during the day from 12pm to 3pm (as of 1 Sep 2022) and it is definitely worth it to schedule your visit around that time period so you can see it. Text in the exhibits were almost all available in English as well.

Well worth the €5 entry fee, a must visit for anyone interested in ceramics and their use throughout Portuguese history during the past four centuries. Don't miss the the horizontal map of Lisbon prior to the earthquake in the 1770s. The buildings are beautiful and have courtyards and old trees. There’s 3 floors to visit, and a beautiful Church inside, gilded chapels and a section of modern Portuguese tiles as well as a fascinating store and repair section in the quadrant where boxes and boxes of old tiles are waiting to be cleaned and put back together.

I’m only giving four stars because the entrance is not clean. I was expecting an entrance with better conservation. Now, inside the museum is beautiful. I loved learning more about the azulejos techniques and Portugal's history. If it is your first time here, also prioritize the visit before exploring the city so you can find things you learned in the museum. There is also a church in the museum.

Went to the tile museum with a small group of friends and would highly recommend. The museum is discounted if you are a student and is free if you study art or architecture. The building housing the museum was beautiful, and the wide range of tiles showcased — from their early origins to modern applications — were beautiful on all counts. An underrated surprise was the cafe and adjoining garden; a lovely place to enjoy a coffee. Would highly recommend for any visits to Lisbon!!

Very beautiful museum with the history of the “azulejo” which means small polished stone. It’s big enough and you can find the whole history and a lot of master pieces from the last centuries. I would be more careful without the internal walls, it looks like really dirty.

This museum of azulejos, tile museum was one of the best museums in Lisbon, Portugal. It is not so big, but surely one can spend here a few hours, and not only in the museum ,but also in its garden which offers a cool and relaxing atmosphere where you can watch the turtles and fishes and have a nice cup of coffee. Next time I will visit this marvelous place I will spend lot more time than. These tiles are absolutely amazing, I should say breathtaking. So far I thought that tiles are used only in the bathroom. I loved the colours of tiles and the stories behind them. I surely recommend this place.

Highly recommended! Beautiful museum, lots of history and interesting things to see and learn. We finished it in about 45 minutes, still worth the visit.

Very cool museum with tons to look at. This can be a quick visit or a long one depending on how many stops you make but the tiles are worth looking at. There’s a ton of tourists here obviously so expect that

Amazing value particularly for travellers and students! Permanent exhibits shine a light on the history and Islamic / Christian origins of the tile arts in Lisbon and how this spread across the various regions. The Disney tiles are by far my favourite as a comical ending, but not worth missing if you’re in the city.

Well worth it if it's your sort of thing. Quite expansive, with lots of areas, structured around different time periods, going up to the relatively modern. The space itself is beautiful. We had entrance separately with the Lisbon card, and the combined ticket with the Pantheon, which allowed us to skip the main queue (which wasn't particularly long) but it'd be good value for money even with the €5 entrance fee

I would highly recommend to visit, but lower your expectations, there are just tiles, not so many explanations of the process, or history of it, or the meaning of them, or the historical impact. No elements to interact with. Just many many tiles! Do you need something else? Recommend to buy tickets online, pay attention that museum does not work on Monday.

Well worth the visit! At first thought, it sounded boring. But when we went, it was great! They had tiles that were new and modern, and ancient. There were numerous different rooms. The building itself was interesting. I took a lot of pictures, and I'd go back if I return to Lisbon. Well done museum, with a cute cafe, and gift store.

Wonder what you're seeing on walls in Portugal? This museum has the answers. Interesting overview of tiles without being "too much". Not to mention the building it's housed in is a 1500's convent. I was also blown away by the amount of tiles they are processing in their work area. Spend an hour and you'll learn a lot. Plus the cafe is set in the pretty covered courtyard.

Very nice building with three gardens . It is a bit far from the center, it takes 20 min with bus to go there and it is closed in the middle of day for 1-2 hours, so better to check before your visit. If you are interested azulejos, or you are a tile, pattern lover , it is one of the best museums for you to go. There are also contemporary works in the museum as the old ones.

I was glad I made it to the tile museum, the space is incredible- it is laid out in a way where you feel that you happen about a natural wonder by accident— a hidden staircase, a courtyard, and incredible temple, and even basic rooms were filled with amazing tile pieces and the very top floor had some amazing pieces of Lisbon Landscape. The cafe on the ground floor is very cozy and there is an impressive outdoor eating area. They close for one hour in the afternoon from 1-2. There is plenty of benches and a comfortable courtyard entryway if you wish to wait while it’s closed. The was no wait when we arrived at 2:15p. And we could easily walk through the place to see the exhibits. Minus 1 point because there were some areas that didn’t seem well utilized, you could also see in the courtyard some excess storage of tiles that could possibly be more prominently showcased.

This museum is an excellent location to visit, and it is complimentary with a Lisboa card. There are three floors with numerous rooms that display tile works from various eras. Visitors can observe a demonstration of how tiles and prints were created, which is quite intriguing. The third floor provides a panoramic view of the city, entirely constructed of tiles. The museum even houses a beautiful church. When we visited, the church was open from 3 pm, but I am uncertain if this is always the case. Additionally, they have their own app that can be downloaded, providing an audio guide of the location.

Fabulous display of Portuguese tiles from the Moor influence onwards. If you don't want to spend hours there, go for the Convent Chapel it is worth the price of admission alone. Stunning combination of tiled walls and gold Golding on everything else! Sounds horrible, but it's great. Beware - Chapel is shut during lunch 13.00 & 15.00.

This museum was very intriguing! Set within a former church and monastery adorned with intricate blue tiles, its centerpiece is a splendid Baroque church featuring extensive blue tiling. Additionally, the other rooms showcase impressive displays of tile art spanning various centuries. It's a must-visit for enthusiasts of culture and history!

Good museum. Lots of tiles, their history, the craft, and even some modern tile exhibitions. The building is an old monastery, including an amazing chapel. Entrance fee is 8€ as of January 2024.

The audio guide was good, would recommend downloading in advance. With both floors of the museum, it was really neat to understand some of the progression of the history of azulejos in Portugal. I didn't expect the monastery in the middle of the museum, but that was cool! Overall, beautiful place to take in. Not totally sure if it was worth the ride out this far when we had nothing else we were going to do out here.

A great museum which is all about azulejo tiles where you can learn more about the art that surrounds you everywhere is Lisbon. Also spotted some ancient lizard-people.

An impesive museum about the traditional Portuguese tiles with nice architecture. There is a room in which you can watch a video about the history of the tiles in Portugal, from the past to the present. The coffee shop worth a visit as well!

Must visit! Incredible samples of tile art from Portugal and Spain. Do not miss the Church and it’s panels.

Super fun museum. A lot of beautiful tiles and the history behind it. The building is ancient, historical and lovely. The safety measures for covid19 were great and it's free for Portuguese every Sunday and public holiday until 2pm.

What an amazing place, great value for money (€5 per adult), a very decent family discount (50% for a family of 6 I think) and the place is huge. So much to see, it's split over 3 floors and what seems to be 2 adjoining buildings (although probably just one) and its very well laid out, just the right amount of information with lots to demonstrate how tiles were and are made with tactile things. Plus it's all wheelchair accessible (all three floors) with ramps at every step and braille on most or all information signs. It is also very well set up for children, lots to see and touch and it also looks like you might be able to book kids in for activities as there were young teenagers painting tiles whilst we were there and they had areas set up fit it. We were really impressed.

(Translated by Google) The history of tiles in Portugal is faithfully represented in this Museum, as well as its study and dissemination. Since the 13th century, the use of glazed mosaic flooring began to be used and from the 16th century the use of tiles for wall covering spread throughout the country. azulejos executed by Marçal de Matos for the Church of Santo André in Lisbon, partially destroyed by the 1755 earthquake, and another 23 m panel representing Lisbon before the earthquake. Another one of my preferences was for the immense works in Ceramics, especially the one related to the sea. In an exhibition of this magnitude I could not fail to find magnificent works by João Abel Manta, Manuel Cargaleiro, Vieira da Silva, João Resende and Júlio Pomar among many others. (Original) A história do azulejo em Portugal está fielmente representada neste Museu, bem como o seu estudo e divulgação. Desde o século XIII começou-se a usar pavimento em mosaico vidrado e a partir do século XVI o uso do azulejo para o revestimento de paredes espalhou-se por todo o País. Saí deste Museu vivamente impressionado, em particular com um painel constituído por 1.498 azulejos executado por Marçal de Matos para a Igreja de Santo André em Lisboa, parcialmente destruída pelo terramoto de 1755, e um outro painel com 23 m representando Lisboa antes do terramoto. Outra das minhas preferências foi para os imensos trabalhos em Cerâmica em especial a relacionada com o mar. Numa exposição desta envergadura não podia deixar de encontrar trabalhos magníficos de João Abel Manta, Manuel Cargaleiro, Vieira da Silva, João Resende e Júlio Pomar entre muitos outros.

Very good collection, well presented. Download the app which has an excellent English language guide. Makes a world of difference. Quite an amazing old church, richly decorated that forms part of the museum collection too. Worth a visit especially given how important tiles are in Portugal

Incredible museum! You will discover the history of azulejos in the different rooms of the monastery. The chapel is magnificent, I also liked the little cloister with Moorish influences. A must do when you visit Lisbon!

Amazing museum! Would highly recommend if you're in Lisbon and interested in design and the history of the tiles. Would say the collection is the best ceramic art collection I've seen, even compared to the likes of the V&A in London. Definitely worth a visit, very inspiring!

A very interesting and different museum. Tiles mainly from Portugal between 16th to 19th century mainly made for religious purposes but still worth a visit. Tickets are cheap enough (€5.00) and closes at 18:00.

Lots to see, and you can take as much or as little time as you want in there (only 5€!). They have a great range of historical and contemporary artifacts. Also, the inner and outer courtyards are gorgeous and even at peak lunchtime, very peaceful and quiet.

Such a good museum, I loved it! So much to see. 2.50€ for students, 5€ for adults. Lovely and well kept. No locker to put your stuff in though so reccomended to travel lighter or bring a smaller bag with you to avoid carrying around stuff during the long visit.

Actually super exciting, but unfortunately implemented a bit half-heartedly. Many tiles can be viewed, but a more modern or interactive exhibition would be nice. so everything looks a bit dusty - just like an old tile ;-). Still worth a visit (free on Sundays)

I am a big tiles fan. I love every tile in Lisbon and there they show the history of tiles and all kinds of variations through time. It’s located in a very beautiful place sort of a monastery I believe. It’s a pleasure to walk around and take pictures. You’re not overloaded with information. We used a combo ticket for this museum and the Pantheon: 7 euros together per person (we bought it at the Pantheon and then went to the museum and skipped the line with it) . And you have 1 year to visit them actually 😁 I would highly recommend it

One of the most notable aspects of Lisbon's beautiful architecture is its vibrant ceramic tiles. You can see how the tiling has changed between centuries. Tickets were not expensive also, 5 Euros per person. The only down side of the museum was it was damp and smelly. We suffered a bit until we finished the tour. Also, the museum is bit far from center, not a walking distance. It worths stopping by and spend an hour or two however, I wouldn’t call it a must go place.

The museum is housed in an old convent and is the only museum in the Mediterranean to dedicate to tiles. Do you know the art of tile-making arrives in 🇵🇹 with the influence of Islamic and there was some form of Chinese influence with the use of blue and white tiles. In the past, tiles were used to reflect ideas and revolution throughout history. With increased interaction with 🇪🇸 and 🇳🇱, more colours and techniques were adopted. Beautiful history with lovely visuals.

Best, most historical museum we visited on our trip, ending up here on a Tuesday morning, end of February (low season). We did not experience a line up & cost 8€ per person. I would suggest tickets in advance in high season & im unsure of parking. There was some street parking out front however we took a tuk tuk here since it’s a bit far from the main areas for walking. Not only do you get to see a museum filled with tiles from the 15th century, and relics that predate this, each room flows from the oldest to newer works of tiles; But it’s also an old convent and the chapel and cloister are fabulous to experience. There’s tiles from the original church as well as many brought from other locations, & you can watch a team of people work on the many tiles for restoration via room mostly made of windows. The paintings and level of architecture and design in the chapel are some of the best we saw while visiting Lisbon churches. It took us about 2 hours total to view the full museum and each room; You could do it faster and also slower depending on your level of interest.

Very interesting museum with a great ticket price. For families or groups it is 4 euro per person and individually or is 8 euro. It has 3 different levels and each level is for different centuries. The museum has elevator and ramps. Also a small Cafe. Really great experience 👍

Really interesting museum. About a 40 min walk from the main square. We took a stroll after visiting St George castle, walked by the pantheon and Saturday market. Very enjoyable.

Small Educational Museum for Children. One of the few open museums and Monday.

Tiny museum that you could visit in 20 minutes. Worth it if you love old and rare instruments, otherwise skip it.

As the name says this is the .National Museum of Music.Ioved it.

Go to see a variety of old musical instruments.

Small museum but with a lot os instruments. Large range and quantity. Worth the visit

Old instruments and nice concerts all style !

Such an amazing Museum. I've lived in Lisbon in all my life and I didn't know what I was missing. It covers everything about Portuguese culture in ceramic and porcelain. Amazing art works from legendary artists, search and reconstruction jobs on these are pff the chart. I totally recommend everyone to come and visit, besides the original building itself is worth a visit.

It is good to visit the Museum if you are interested in Wall tiles from begin and today.Amazing work and Art.

Beautiful museum filled with azulejos from every era of Portugal's history. It's definitely a place to see.

Very nice museum, beautiful location and a perfect way to lose yourself in the Azulejo art. Place could be even more educating if all descriptions were translated in different languages.

One of the most important things to see in Lisbon.

Beautiful place. The exhibition is very good. The restaurant is really good and it is in a wonderful patio.

(Translated by Google) Absolutely beautiful!!! More than tiles. Even the restaurant and terrace are beautiful. One of the most beautiful museums in Lisbon. The employees are very friendly and answer any questions we may have. There is also a jaw-dropping church, where weddings and baptisms can be celebrated. The museum is totally adapted for people with reduced mobility, with ramps and an elevator to the room on the 3rd floor, where there is a giant Lisbon panel, before the 1755 earthquake.

(Translated by Google) Very nice museum worth the visit (Original) Très joli musée qui en vaut la visite

(Translated by Google) Very nice museum, you will learn a lot about this art that is the "azuleros". It is quite large so allow a minimum of 1 hour for the visit. There are many rooms with different themes and different eras. You will also see a magnificent chapel and other period pieces which should leave you with fond memories. On the downside, the place is poorly heated so you risk getting cold. The staff are not very friendly although they are disturbed during their crossword puzzles. In short, the visit is still worth it (Original) Très beau musée, vous apprendrez beaucoup de choses sur cet art qu'est l'"azuleros". C'est assez grand donc comptez minimum 1h pour la visite. Il y a de nombreuses salles avec différents thèmes et différentes époques. Vous verrez aussi une magnifique chappelle et d'autres pièces d'époque qui devraient vous laisser un bon souvenir. En négatif, l'endroit est mal chauffé donc vous risquer d'avoir froid. Le personnel n'est pas très sympathique bien qu'on les dérange pendant leurs mot croisés. Bref la visite vaut quand même le coup

The worst management! The museum is good but I cannot tell as I cannot visit the museum second time. Their website says it is open. However when you come here it is closed! No information on the door no sorry and no information on the website. Careless! I understand it is covid-19 to blame but it is complete laziness not to update information. And then you want subsidies from government for your lazy work!!!

Defenitely worth the visit - if your interested interested in the history ceramics and tiles in Portugal and in general. In the museum you also can eat in a shady patio with lots of plants and some birds - priceworthy. Recommended!

Fabulous museum of art of ceramics and tiles. My favorite color is blue as well. Very quiet and lovely garden with a turtle pool to take for a rest.

It is a charming little museum hosted in a former monastery. The exhibition is very well placed with a lot of information in English.

Super nice museum with a surprisingly stunning church inside. Definitely an underrated must-visit.

Very interesting museum, it connects to a church/chapel as a well.

Such amazing work recovered, and inside the beautiful church no less! A great museum, highly recommend.

Nice museum to find some more information about the azulejos you find all over Lisbon and Portugal. The chapel was the highlight for me.

Impressive and well presented small museum. There is also an App in English which you should download to appreciate the historical context of the Azulejos

A must visit for anyone interested in ceramics and their use theouout Portuguese history during the past four centuries. Don't miss the the horizontal map of Lisbon prior to the earthquake of the 1770s. Moreover, the buildings are beautiful and have courtyards and old.trees. there are gulided chapels and a section of modern Portuguese tiles as well as a fascinating store and repair section in the quadrant where boxes and boxes of old tiles are waiting to be cleaned and put back together. A jigsaw! 💙

It is worth to visit the tile museum. Panorama Lisbon tiles were magnificent. The museum showed a proud Portuguese history. Also it has a modern art room.

This museum is for those who appreciate art and the history of tile-painting. It has a nice café with peaceful greenery inside. But if you don’t care much for porcelain tile art, you may find it a bit underwhelming amongst the wealth of attractions in the city.

Full of amazing tiles and history. The winter garden/ café was very relaxing. A perfect way to hide away from the extreme heat. There were not that many people around, so you can properly enjoy the art.

Personally not a fan of tile work though I found myself appreciating the beautiful art. It is a great place to visit if you have interest in these sort of things and there are pieces of art that you can definitely appreciate even as a non artistic person. I recommend you visit this museum!

All the art looked kind of the same, now i do not know if that’s me not being cultured but it felt like half of the art was the same. Also museums aren’t really my thing so take my review with a grain of salt. The church was cool but they kept body parts of saints and that was kind of creepy. Anyway art nerds would probably love this.

Initially this tile museum was not on the list of priorities, but now, after visiting it, I am extremely glad that I managed to see it! I managed to visit it during the week with an hour and a half before closing time, and was perfect, not being crowdy. We bought the tickets on spot. It’s one-of-a-kind attraction because only Lisbon has a museum exclusively dedicated to tile. Also the place is beautiful, the tile museum is housed in a magnificent old convent from 1509, and with a collection featuring pieces going back to the 1400s.

Absolutely wonderful place to visit and learn about Portugal! It's very insightful not just about the tile making process, but also showing how tiles were used in all sorts of art forms throughout the years. A must see if you're visiting Lisbon, even if for a moment! There's also a GORGEOUS chapel inside that you can sit in - highly recommend!

Definitely worth a visit. A beautiful collection of tile work. The tickets are very cheap and they do a student discount too. The cafe and the outdoor seating area were perfect to grab lunch or a snack. I thought it would be smaller but the museum is huge so you will not get bored. Took us about 2hrs to get through everything including coffee and cake at the end.

Gorgeous!! Beautiful experience seeing the culture, the art, the history of Portugal. Very low price too, considering how much other tourist attractions usually cost. And if you like chapels, there's one inside too.

Very nice museum beautifully situated in an old cloister which as itself was worth a visit. Really liked the contemporary tile work and the Lisboa Panorama. Nice museum shop ánd garden but the garden could do with a bit of maintenance. It would be lovely to see the water flowing from the pond to the fountain again!

Museum of azulejo tiles, tiles from different periods, it is inside a monastery from the 16th century. I was amazed by the different works, literally walking through the pages of history. I really enjoyed sitting on the patio drinking a cold beer. I recommend to art lovers.

For only 5€ this is a worthwhile place to visit to see the history of tiles around the world and particularly within Portugal. They have a wonderful selection and it is all separated out very well - with all the religious pieces together, different eras of history and explanations of how they are made as well as a modern era. Some of the modern stuff is particularly bizarre! I highly recommend heading to the cafe whilst you’re here as the prices are surprisingly very reasonable and there is a lovely covered garden that transports you to another place.

The Tile Museum -- it has other ceramics as well as tile -- is definitely worth a visit. The tiles on show include historical tiles in a variety of styles as well as more modern ceramics (e.g., from the 20th century). It's interesting and informative, although at times it felt a bit repetitive. The building felt a bit confusing, since it has multiple small rooms on multiple floors.

Great collection of tile work, with beautiful examples of traditional Portuguese tilework, housed in a former convent. On top of that, tickets are not expensive. Slightly out of the way, but easily accessible by taxi. On the things to improve, there could be more explanation about the art work as well as the building’s history. Clearly worth the visit.

I visited here a few days ago, its a nice museum but I found that a lot of the tiles were given little to no explanation which was disappointing. The ground floor is easily the best in terms of telling the story of the progression of tiles in Portugal, it's a shame this is not continued in the upper floors. There are relatively small fans in each room so I found the upper floors pretty stifling on a hot summers day. I was charged a student rate despite not having my (UK) student card with me which I really appreciated! Reasonably priced, worth a visit :)

It was a very nice museum with a modest entrance fee. The free audio guide is very helpful and makes it clear to understand all tiles. The temporary exhibition has articles from Romania which made me proud to be Romanian.

This was a beautiful and large museum on breathtaking grounds. The chapel was a lovely surprise, full of detail and well maintained. The history of the tiles as well as the variety made each room unique.

This is located in a former nunnery. I can only say they we were awestruck by the chapel, the reliquary and the phenomenal exhibits of the history of Portuguese time. We also had a chance to make our own times which was a great experience. Give yourself extra time because it is truly a visual feast.

Excellent, one of our best stops while in Lisbon. Especially liked the exhibits that showed step by step the various tile making procedures. Don't miss the amazing 1700 panorama of Lisbon display just before leaving, it's easy to miss this when exiting. A must see for anyone who appreciates Lisbon's tile-decorated buildings.

I got there early so I didn’t have to queue and got to enjoy the place quite quietly but it got very busy afterwards. I’d definitely go on a weekday instead of a weekend if possible. Great pieces though and the chapel is absolutely stunning! Also went for the tile painting class which was a lot of fun.

such a beautiful museum. i think it's the best one in Lisbon. The museum is full of colourful tiles and also the church which is inside the museum is magnificent. A nice surprise was also a great spot for coffee break inside the building

$8 for a ticket, $4 if a senior or young, but we'll worth it I'd say. About an hour and a half worth of viewing material and maybe more if you delve into the history of it. The church and choir room in itself is a marvel. Highly recommend must-see of Lisbon.

Very interesting museum, it presents the history of the ceramic tiles in Portugal. It includes an amazing church and various walls full of azulejos. I recommend buying the tickets online in order to skip the line.

Surprisingly engaging museum and a perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon. The exhibits and tiles were displayed in a modern and interesting way I it was unexpectedly a great way to learn about Lisbon's history. Buying tickets in advance wasn't necessary but did allow us to skip a 5-10 minute line at the entrance. The cafe and garden looked really cute and would love to spend more time there on a sunnier day.

It was very interesting place. Was able to see lots of beautiful tiles. Their cafe was amazing as well. Great service, very affordable cost and food was good. Overall, highly recommend to stop by here to learn little bit about the tiles.

Seems like a hidden treasure as it is easy to get in and view the museum. I highly recommend visiting this. It is pretty stunning to see the tile history. If you have the Lisboa card, you get in for free!

A great place to learn about the most noticeable Lisbon's decorative tradition. Plus the church itself is worth seeing, it's built in the same style as Jeronimus monastery, but smaller and there's no 3-hour long queue to enter. And my ticket was free!!!

Besides all the great things one can do outside in Lisbon, there are plenty of things to do indoors. Exhibitions, palaces with access for the public, fairies and, of course, the museums. One of it to pay a visit is the National Tiles Museum. To be honest, I didn’t expect to be that huge as it turned out it actually is. And it is worth to spend some time in there. You should bring around two hours to make it through all the rooms, halls, chapels, churches and so on. Be careful when you decide about a time to go there. At times it is quite overcrowded and not only you have to wait in the line at the entry to get your ticket. It is, of course, then also very crowded inside which can be inconvenient, for sure. Saying this, it might be good to consider to get your tickets upfront online. The fee is actually 8€, which is fair considering what you’ll get in return. Once you entered the place and got off to your journey throughout the century old art of tiles creation and crafting, you are fairly free to choose which way you wanna take, which room to visit, which floor to climb next. It’s like having a walk through the history of Portugal from a unique point of view. And all the preceding centuries are well presented in this regard, until you arrive in the present. If you like to take pictures, keep your camera (or, as it is nowadays, your smartphone at the ready and shoot, shoot, shoot. The place also contains a shop where you can get a lot of precious pieces related to the topic. Not to forget the café. This is a cosy space on the ground floor with lots of seats inside and as well in a yard. A lot of plants will surround you outside and the atmosphere is nothing but comforting. I have to admit I was surprised by the prices there. Really reasonable given the quality you get back for your money. So, if you’re in the mood or are thirsty and/or hungry, don’t hesitate to pay a visit.

Beautiful building with a comprehensive collection of azulejos from the 15th to 20th century, plus some contemporary exhibits. Also, a church? Definitely with a visit for fans of history or artisan crafts. I learned here that all national museums in Portugal are free for students.
