A small and mesmerizing collection about the Orient. Wonderful place, beautifully assembled. A bit tricky to access. And don't confuse it with the Gare do Oriente (at the other side of the city)

Great museum with interesting exhibits. Does a good job of making explanations concise and engaging. Free entry on Fridays 18:00-22:00.
