sneluOctober 18, 2015It was a blast! So much to see. The way of exhibiting was more then thoughtfully and the architecture cohere with it perfectly. One of the best museum in portugal. Worth all your time and money.Upvote3Downvote
Thomas TingstrupAugust 10, 2014You may have seen most of it before. The paintings, wood carvings, jewelery, sculptures & the ruins. But the way it all is put toghether and presented to the audienc is UNIQUE. A fantastic experience.

Upvote1Downvote - Gabriel SeahMarch 15, 2022There're also some Roman remains and a few sculptures underneath, so you get even more bang for your buck. Admission is only 6€ and the collection is pretty big. There's some oriental objects too.UpvoteDownvote
- Gabriel SeahMarch 15, 2022Excellent collection of Portuguese art with a focus on sculpture but also painting, previous metals, earthenware etc. Collection is mainly from the 11th century to the 17th century.UpvoteDownvote
- Gabriel SeahMarch 15, 2022Quite a bit of stuff imported (mainly from Flanders), and is supposedly 'nativised' - I'm not sure what's wrong with embracing it as Flemish in its own right but anyway it's still excellent art.UpvoteDownvote
- OlesyaJanuary 26, 2019Museum's building is simply amazing - Portugal's oldest Roman construction, and the collection is also very interesting. A must-visit in Coimbra!UpvoteDownvote
- sneluOctober 18, 2015The museum is barrier-free but parking near by will be difficult. The view over coimbra and the university is nice.UpvoteDownvote
Yuri VianaOctober 11, 2014Excelente museu. Obrigatório para quem vem visitar Coimbra. O restaurante vale a pena ser visitado.Upvote7Downvote
O Museu vale bastante a pena, quanto mais não seja pelas ruínas da cidade romana! Além disso tem um fantástico Bar/Restaurante com uma magnifica vista!Upvote6Downvote
Raul FernandesNovember 4, 2015Maravilhosa arte em pedra de Portugal, ruínas renascentistas, ruínas romanas (o criptoportico), Não podes deixar de conferir. Estudantes só pagam 3 euros.Upvote1Downvote
Владимир Кульпин (Vladimir Kulpin)September 21, 2016Занимательно побродили по двум подземным этажам. Интересная экспозиция статуй, картин и предметов обихода.
