    The National Museum of Costume and Fashion in Lisbon offers visitors an insight into Portuguese fashion and textile history. Located in the Monteiro-Mor Palace, the museum's setting adds to its charm. The collection spans several centuries, showcasing the evolution of Portuguese clothing and accessories.

    Visitors appreciate the well-preserved historical garments and the opportunity to learn about fashion trends across different eras. The museum's strength lies in its comprehensive display of traditional Portuguese costumes, providing context for the country's cultural heritage.

    However, some guests find the museum relatively small and wish for more extensive exhibits. The information provided is sometimes considered limited, especially for non-Portuguese speakers, as not all displays have translations. Some visitors note that the museum could benefit from more interactive elements or multimedia presentations to enhance the experience.

    The museum's garden is often highlighted as a pleasant surprise, offering a serene space to relax after viewing the exhibits. While the collection is interesting, some feel that the presentation could be modernized to appeal to a wider audience.

    Overall, the National Museum of Costume and Fashion provides a good, if somewhat traditional, look at Portuguese fashion history. It's worth a visit for those interested in textiles and historical clothing, but may not be a top priority for all tourists in Lisbon.
