The Tile Museum: Six Centuries on Walls
The Tile Museum: Six Centuries on Walls
Museu Nacional do Azulejo in a former convent. Six centuries of Portugal's most distinctive art. The masterpiece: a 36-meter panoramic tile panel of Lisbon before the 1755 earthquake — the only visual record of the destroyed city. The convent cloister traces the art form's evolution room by room. The cafe serves coffee in tiled surroundings, which feels like the correct way to drink it in this country.
