Why go

The Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga is a national art museum on Rua das Janelas Verdes in Lisbon; Wikidata records its founding in 1884. Visit Lisboa describes its collection as painting, sculpture, silver, gold and jewellery and decorative arts from the 12th to the 19th century, Portuguese, European, African and Oriental, including the Panels of Saint Vincent by Nuno Gonçalves, the Belém Monstrance and paintings by Bosch, Memling, Dürer, Raphael and Piero della Francesca, and mentions the museum's garden above the Tagus. When this record was researched on 9 October 2026, Visit Lisboa's page for the museum carried the notice 'Closed for renovations from 29th September', and the museum's own site could not be opened to confirm it, so check before planning a visit.
