Description
Enjoy a multicultural museum devoted to preserving, in all its aspects, the material and intangible heritage of several Asian countries through the testimonies of its two collections: Portuguese Presence in Asia and Kwok On. Opened in 2008, the Museum of the Orient is located in a unique building on Lisbon's riverside front, in Alcântara.
The Portuguese presence in Eastern territories (India, Sri Lanka, China, Macao, Japan and East Timor) resulted in, besides trade relations, cultural, life experience, scientific, technical and religious exchanges, which made it possible to come into contact with worlds previously unknown.
The cultural diversity on display shows a stimulating and enriching dialogue between the West and the East.
