The Unusual Museums of Portugal

When we think of museums, we often imagine long silent halls, paintings we look at without daring to speak, and guards following us out of the corner of their eye. But in Portugal, museums have an entirely different flavour. Here, they sometimes smell of the sea, of polished wood, of aged leather… and even of grilled sardines ! From north to south, the country is full of quirky, playful, sometimes slightly eccentric museums that tell its story in their own way. Forget the clichés : make room for curiosity, creativity, a touch of fantasy, and above all, some really fun outing ideas !
