This is very small museum with few objects to see. However it is certainly very interesting for people who like fado and for those who would like to know more about it's history.

Museu do Fado is probably the Museum that tells you the most about Portuguese while showing less. Other Museums might have the best works of art, show Portuguese wonders and achievements but Museu do Fado is the one that will teach who we are, what we are and why we are the way we are.

In this museum you can travel through fado history. I liked very much the sound of portuguese guitar. All the visuals and sounds were very interesting. Greek visitors will discover a lot of similarities with "rembetiko", especially in the lifestyle of fado artists.
