National Ethnology Museum

The National Museum of Ethnology is inseparable from the history of Portuguese anthropology. It projects a fundamental dimension of the work of the pioneers of this particular field of knowledge in the country, such as Jorge Dias, Margot Dias, Ernesto Veiga de Oliveira, Fernando Galhano, and Benjamim Pereira, among others.
In 1965, the Museum was created with the ambitious program of representing the cultures of the peoples of the globe, not limited to Portugal or to the overseas domains under its administration.
