The definitive museum dedicated to fado, Lisbon's UNESCO-recognised music of longing and soul, tracing its origins, key figures, and cultural significance through instruments, costumes, recordings, and multimedia displays. It's compact but beautifully curated, and the audio stations let you immerse yourself in the music properly. Pair a visit with a live fado dinner nearby in the evening for the full experience. A must for anyone wanting to understand what makes Lisbon emotionally distinct.
