Best Museum in portugal

I	Ines Sottomayor Negrão on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Recomendo completamente a visita a este Museu!! Aqui tenta-se imaginar o que estas pessoas tiveram que passar durante o maior crime do Homem contra o Homem! Para além de que é, também, uma homenagem ao português Aristides de Sousa Mendes que, enquanto cônsul de Portugal em Bordéus na época, e à rebelia de António Oliveira Salazar, passou milhares de vistos de entrada em Portugal a refugiados que queriam fugir de França, e dos campos de concentração. Para quem se questiona porque é que este museu não está aberto ao fim de semana é porque o sábado, para a comunidade judaica, é sagrado e considerado o dia de descanso e de estar com a família, o conhecido Shabat. Presumo que achem que não faz muito sentido abrirem ao domingo. I completely recommend a visit to this Museum!! Here we try to imagine what these people had to go through during Man's greatest crime against Man! In addition to the fact that it is also a tribute to the Portuguese Aristides de Sousa Mendes who, as Portuguese consul in Bordeaux at the time, and to the rebellion of António Oliveira Salazar, issued thousands of entry visas to Portugal to refugees who wanted to flee France. , and concentration camps. For those who wonder why this museum is not open on weekends, it is because Saturday, for the Jewish community, is sacred and considered the day of rest and being with the family, the well-known Shabbat. I assume you think it doesn't make much sense to open on Sunday.
s	sonia costa on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Museu de entrada gratuita gerido pela entidade judaica em Portugal. Com elevada segurança, transporta-nos no tempo e no espaço para uma época que não se deve nem pode repetir. Um espaço simples, mas tão marcante, não se fica indiferente após a sua visita. Não é muito grande, mas é para ser vivido com tempo e aproveitar para pensar e refletir, ouvir as histórias de quem passou por esta desgraça e perceber qual o impacto que os portuenses tiveram também na ajuda deste povo! A visitar sem dúvida, com respeito e com a ideia de que sairemos de lá uma pessoa melhor!!!! Free admission museum managed by the Jewish entity in Portugal. With high security, it transports us through time and space to an era that must not and cannot be repeated. A simple space, but so striking, you won't be indifferent after your visit. It is not very big, but it is to be lived with time and to take the opportunity to think and reflect, listen to the stories of those who went through this misfortune and understand the impact that the people of Porto also had in helping this people! A visit without a doubt, with respect and with the idea that we will leave there a better person!!!!

J	Jeff Rosenberg on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Definitely visit this very informative and well laid out museum. Close to the synagogue and Jewish museum. Prior arrangements are needed to visit the other two sites.
R	Romeu Monteiro on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The first and only Holocaust Museum in the Iberian Peninsula. Very nice staff and very well done, especially as it documents the flight of Holocaust refugees via Porto. All materials are available in both Portuguese and English. Relatively small for a museum, but make sure to save at least 40 minutes for the visit. The line outside can be long; usually the wait is 20/30 minutes, and some of it under sun or rain.
F	Fernanda Hope on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you’ve been to any other holocaust museum, you can pass this one. There is so little material, it’s a shame they called it a museum and besides the security guy is very rude. Does he think he’s protecting the queen of England? We should be more friendly and flexible with the hours, to reach more people. A space that opens 3 hours a day, it’s not doing much favor to spread the message that it was suppose to.
