National Museum of Archaeology

Why go

When accessible, the museum adds a countrywide archaeological perspective to a Belém visit dominated by maritime monuments. Its holdings range from Egyptian antiquities to Bronze and Iron Age metalwork and Roman mosaics, displayed in the former monastic spaces of Jerónimos.

What to look for

• Granite Lusitanian warrior statues mark the entrance to the collection.
• Bronze and Iron Age metalwork forms a central group of Portuguese archaeological treasures.
• Roman mosaics connect sites in southern and central Portugal.

Useful to know

• Check the museum’s official site for a confirmed reopening before adding it to a Belém plan.
• If it remains closed, use the time for Jerónimos Monastery rather than treating this as a separate stop.
