Lisbon, Portugal - The Tile Museum

Lisbon, Portugal - The Tile Museum

 

So, I already posted about the beautiful city of Lisbon, but here I am posting only about the Tile Museum. I have been to Spain before and visited The Alhambra. There were beautiful tiles there that I remembered so when I toured the Tile Museum I was thrilled! If you like tile, this is the place to go!

Tiles of all varieties,

styles,

dates

colors

 

 

Textures

 

histories 

 

 and shapes

 

 

  

 

Here I will not have much commentary. This is mostly so that you can "see what you can see".

Here is a beautiful cathedral that was attached to the Tile Museum. It is exquisite! There will be more details about this cathedral later. I need to do a little bit of research about it.

Just to note, I took pictures of the beautiful

Parkay and marble floors.

You may also want to check out the, what I would call, "stalls" where I would guess the cardinals sat during mass.

There were little "shadow box" style of glass front cabinets where various artifacts were stored. I would assume they were personal items or momentos of the various cardinals. Again, I have to do the research to find out the stories behind them but here are a few more pictures.

 

 

 

Magnificent, isn't it?
