We loved. Much better then we expected. It is a FREE museum that tell about each region in Portugal. They show the culture, behavior. I was very surprised how huge and complete the place was. I would definitely come back and recommend to everybody.

Amazing art gallery for Cornelis, I enjoyed it, price was ok I think 11 euros as I remember, very nice area for tourism, site seeing places and museums and good food!
Enjoyed the MC Escher exhibition which is open until September 2018. It costs 11 euros which is a little expensive. The price includes an audio video available in different languages (and special commentary for children). The Escher illustrations are mostly prints or woodblocks so in black and white. They are in chronological order and the famous pieces start from the section on tessellations about halfway through. The are also interactive exhibits on the theme of optical illusion. Overall a great exhibition for fans.
I saw the Escher's exhibition, and it was very well curated, loads of interesting facts, artworks, and everything was written both in Portuguese and English. Nice space and helpful and friendly staff. Great location too, definitely check it out if you're passing by.
Only saw the MC Escher exhibit - it was very well arranged and organized. Audio guide came with ticket and added a lot of extra information to the exhibit. One of the more enjoyable art museum tours I've had.
Very nice organized exhibition - I visited the Escher one in March 2018 - and nice place, too. I didn't see any of the permanent exhibitions, if there are any. A bit on the pricey side for Escher (11), but it was still worth it.
The Museum of Popular Art is a strange building because it was part of the 1940 Exposição do Mundo Português (Portuguese World Expo), a propagandist event showcasing Portuguese dominance in the world. There’s a mock-up in one of the rooms of how the expo grounds looked. For Portuguese, and Lisboans in particular, talking about the Salazar-headed dictatorship (1933-1974) is tricky. Most people want to forget about it and move on with their lives, but the fact is it happened, and people have to acknowledge it happened, otherwise History could repeat itself. The building housing the museum is from “those days” and so is treated with a certain ambivalence by the older crowd. However, the younger generation at this museum were so enthusiastic about the art on display - a touring MC Escher exhibition - that I felt revitalised. They all spoke excellent English and were a credit to the Portuguese education system. Escher was an amazing drawer and his early pictures of holidays in southern Italy were so well executed that I wanted to visit those places the following day. The small Calabrian villages were depicted nestling amongst giant stones and slabs of rock. All Escher’s famous works bending reality were there and I spent ages in the gift shop working out what I could fit into my suitcase.
Visited this museum to see the Escher exhibition. The Exhibition was cool but not my favourite.
