Known forAsiacolonial historyconverted warehousehidden gem
A superb museum dedicated to Portugal's historical ties with Asia, installed in a striking converted 1940s bacalhau warehouse on the waterfront. The permanent collection spans Chinese, Japanese, Indian, and Southeast Asian art and artifacts, with a particularly strong section on the Portuguese presence in Asia. Friday evenings offer free entry and live music, making it a genuine local social event. Caveat: it sits in a slightly industrial stretch of Alcântara that requires a deliberate trip.
