Lisbon - National Tile Museum

We really enjoyed visiting the National Tile Museum.  Decorative tiles have been used for centuries to adorn the interior walls of grand buildings, often taking the place where we might expect paintings to have been hung.





No wall too difficult to decorate with tiles






Even the church walls get the treatment - certainly makes it less somber





Moving into art nouveau





Examples of modern takes on classic imagery


This is part of a bespoke kitchen donated to the museum
