National Museum of Ancient Art
The vast collection of art housed at National Museum of Ancient Art includes paintings, sculptures, textiles, furniture, drawings, and other decorative arts created between the 15th and 19th centuries. Housed inside a lemon-colored palace from the 17th century, the museum remains one of city's major draws, presenting the evolution of European and Asian art through the ages. Pay special attention to the large panels depicting members of medieval Portuguese society paying respects to St. Vincent, the patron saint of Lisbon. This work, attributed to artist Nuno Goncalves, represents one of the first collective portraits in European art. Other museum highlights include masterpieces by Durer, Bosch, Cranach, Raphael, Tintoretto, and Velazquez.

Absolutely massive museum full of incredible works spanning hundreds of years as you follow the development of European art throughout the past few hundred years. Leave significant time to see everything as it was far larger than expected! However, I would have liked to see them make the museum as a whole more informative with more signage.

So far, this is one of the best museums of ancient art I have seen. The collection of paintings and art religious statues are amazing. I highly recommend this museum in Lisbon, Portugal.
