The Geological Museum was founded in 1857. It was the first Museum dedicated to geology and archaeology in Portugal, and it's situated in an ancient convent in one of the most typical quarters of Lisbon: Bairro Alto.

With more than a century of history, this Museum has become a reference in Portuguese Geology and exhibits a remarkable collection of paleontological and archaeological objects, minerals and rocks.

The Museum is open from Tuesday to Saturday, from 10h00 to 17h00.
