One of the most interesting museums in Lisbon. The exhibitions are organized chronologically, so you can observe the changing style of decorating the tiles. Additionally, at the very top you can see the "Great Panorama of Lisbon". Of course, made of tiles. It makes quite an impression.

If you are in Lisbon, you must visit this museum. It has beautiful architecture and a wonderful collection of tiles, which are part of the history of Portugal. It’s located in an old monastery and if you live or are resident in Portugal you can visit the museum for free on Sundays.
I was really surprised with this museum. It is located in a former monastery with a beautiful architecture and a wonderful tile collection! Full explanations of the history of tile work in Portugal both in Portuguese and English. Definetly worth a visit!
Must visit! Incredible samples of tile art from Portugal and Spain. Do not miss the Church and it’s panels.
The best parts for me were the damaged plates taken from abandoned ovens and the room with the reliquary, which is creepy as!! Some beautiful tiles, too.
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.
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.
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!
