    The name of the museums insinuates a boring museum as tiles are not necessarily super interesting. We were however surprised by the beauty of the museum and its tiles. It was one of our favourite museums in Lisbon. We learnt a great deal about this art form and the importance of it in Portugal. Keep in mind that it is quite far from the city centre. We recommend a stay of between 1 and 2 hours.
