This is a beautiful small museum focusing on Portugal’s history of the discovery of other countries. There are exhibits including Portuguese-Indian furniture, two incredibly detailed and beautiful globes and the historic Portuguese hall, among others. If you love maps, you’ll fall in love with the globes :) The entrance fee is 5, 2.5 for students and 2 for the elderly. Photography without flash is allowed. I got a 15 minute long personal tour in English included in the entrance fee. All staff members were extremely friendly.

Unique collection from Africa and Asia. Old fashioned club-like climate.
Great exhibition on the history of Portuguese navigation. Many interesting collection of antiques, maps, globes and also books. Some rooms are being renovated, but the museum and the library are very cool. Staffs are so kind and helpful. Entrance fee is only 5euro with 50% discount for students.
I liked this place very much. The staff is very helpful and kind. They know everything about exhibition items and about history of Portugal and the colonies. I enjoyed the museum a lot. Actually the opening time is unusual, that's why quite difficult to get in.
Amazing place, great displays, library, exhibition, good value, nice restaurant. Well worth visit
The museum is in the HQ of Lisbon Geograpical Society. What a splendid building! The collection reflects the travels and interests of the Society. Not everything is annotated yet: the task is underway. Make certain that you see the huge map of Portuguese travels. It was a pleasure to visit a place which is still little-known!
The museum includes 3 main rooms. First one is the artifacts that are brought from India, including pictures, paintings, chairs, and most importantly two giant globes which is very entertaining to observe. The next part of the museum is the remaining of buildings and also the signs that Portuguese pioneers installed in south Africa and other parts of the world during the age of discovery, first one dates back to early 15th century. the last section which is the the main part, is in fact a huge salon occasionally hosting seminars and in the past some concerts. around this big hall, there are objects from eastern countries like China, Macau and some objects of African countries were taken to the first floor as the second floor was under maintenance. The experience of this museum was in fact pleasant. the entrance is 5 euro and 2.5 for students. the staff are super friendly and they all can speak English fluently which is a plus point! also there is a guide for your visit providing you with all the useful information.
Doesnt look that special from the outside but is worth a visit, beautiful place with an amazing collection of maps and historic books.
