TheCaptain visited on 11th Oct 2019 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 4 Access: 5 The Portugese National Museum of Archaeology is in the building adjacent to the wonderful Mosteiro dos Jerónimos. It is is the largest Archaeological museum in Portugal and one of the most important museums in the world devoted to ancient art found in the Iberian Peninsula. We didn't have long here at the end of a busy day, but had a quick look around the fabulous display of ancient gold and other objects from prehistorical times, the Egyptian gallery and the large Lusitanian (Portugal in the times of the Romans) displays. This is somewhere which would justify many small visits or perhaps a whole day. Nearby to the bag lockers are a couple of ancient standing stones, one with a large square spiral carving, and the other worked into a very phallic shape.

Museu Nacional de Arqueologia submitted by TheCaptain : The south and west of the Iberian Peninsula were an important goldsmithing centre, where gold began to be worked during the 3rd millennium BC. Some of the very impressive ancient bling on display in the Portuguese Treasury room. Apologies for picture quality, just a few quick snaps on my phone in this darkened treasure chest, which I probably shouldn't have taken. No bags or cameras al... (Vote or comment on this photo)
