Lonely Planet review

Opened in 1893, the Museu Nacional de Arqueologia, in the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos' western wing, has exhibits from prehistory to Moorish times, including reverentially lit Graeco-Roman antiquities, such as funerary masks, mummies, tiny mummified crocodiles, sandals and combs. The other highlight is the Treasures Room, with a great haul of gleaming, burnished antique gold jewellery, from massive Bronze Age torques to a delicate Roman snake bracelet.
