Museum in Lisboa, Portugal
The Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, also known in English as the National Museum of Ancient Art, is a Portuguese national art museum located in Lisbon. With over 40,000 items spanning a vast collection of painting, sculpture, goldware, furniture, textiles, ceramics, and prints, MNAA is one of the most visited museums in Portugal. The official English translation of "Antiga" as "Ancient" is a misleading difference of idiom; the museum's collection only includes pieces from the Middle Ages and later. It has been closed for renovation since 29 September 2025, with no re-opening date announced as of September 2026.
