🫤 It’s included in the Lisbon Card, but I wouldn’t recommend paying money for it. Rather walk through the town, this “museum” felt like a waste of time.

😠 The sign is extremely offensive. Perpetrating stereotypes of the slant eye Asians and jungle African and worst of all, Portugal’s history is steeped in slavery in Africa and Asia, this level of callousness is unacceptable!
