National Tile Museum



Museu Nacional do Azulejo is where you can see a large collection of hand painted ceramic tiles.It was wonderful to walk around this city and see these tiles. So, it was no surprise to find out there was a Tile Museum here.This unique art form is part of portuguese heritage.Portuguese hand-painted ceramic tiles are called azulejos.This unique museum is its only kind in the world and well worth a visit.Here you’ll find Perfect holiday packages as well as hotel packages to make your journey complete.

  
It was interesting how they incorporated paintings on the ceramic tiles. We didn’t really think of tiles as an art form before our visit here but this museum changed that perspective.I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many tiles in one area and some were quite unique and colorful and all handcrafted.


It wasn’t just classic, mythological or religious scenes portrayed in the tile art though. We found an area full of contemporary art pieces too.Tile art is very much alive in Portugal and preserved for future generations.It was interesting and amazing to think how they put this pieces together.It was really incredible.The display provided a great overview of Lisbon and was a fun way to see places.


Venue : Rua da Madre de Deus, 4, 1900-312 Lisboa, Portugal
