An interesting small (4 sections) museum in an old building with kind respectful staff. It is free on the first Saturday of the month. It is inside a very old building when you walk you can feel the woods cracking underneath your feet. It has a collection of ancient fossil representation, and one part is for the remaining of human civilization in Portugal, including bones, skull, and ruins of utensils used by ancient people. In the last part of the museum there are different types of stones and salt formations. I was alone on my visit and no one else was there so i could take my time slowly visiting every where and it take at least one hour to look at everything. Unfortunately they don’t have a shop to be able to get some memories just a few postcards. The overall being old the building will highlight the ancient atmosphere of the museum. However from technical point of view i think the building needs a renovation at least at some points. The descriptions were mainly Portuguese but like almost 10% of descriptions were translated, so i couldn’t use fully from my visit (though its my fault not knowing Portuguese) I recommend this museum if you are in the field of sciences and or living in Portugal and want to have a nice educational day.

First rate museum, if rather dated in presentational style. Excellent fossil and mineral collections that are actively used in study.
This is a place for geology. The exhibition is diverse in many eras. Also it represented the geological history in Portugal. Really a great place for expanding knowledge. Recommended.
Must be a great place for geography buffs. 98% or so of all the info is in Portuguese only so without the guide, not too interesting / self-evident. Nevertheless we spent about 1.5 hr on the premises and were the only 2 visitors at the time. To get to the museum you should ascend to the 2nd floor; not too obvious either.
If you are nearby it is compulsory to visit the Geological Museum of Portugal. It is located on the 2nd floor of the Academy of Sciences of Lisbon. Visits on the first Saturday of each month are free of charge. Normal entrance fee 5 euros for adults and 2.5 euros for children upto 18 years old and seniors.
Highly recommended!! What a gem! The collection of fossils and rocks here is massive!!! Specimens are very nicely sorted and displayed! Totally loved the dinosaur bone fossils!
Beautiful museum, full of incredible artifacts, fossils and more! It goes far beyond geology, to include evolution (including humans), scientific history, and art. Well worth the visit!
If you are the least bit interested in geology, paleoanthropology, or paleontology please visit this museum. It has SO much to look at! It's curated to give you glimpses at many many many artifacts. It's amazing. And if you're kids are into Dinosaurs, then there are enough bones and fossils here to make their heads spin. Love this museum. Will be back next visit. Highly Recommend.
