National Museum of Natural History and Science, Lisbon, National museum of natural history in Principe Real, Lisbon, Portugal.
The museum displays extensive collections of zoology, anthropology, botany, mineralogy, and geology specimens in a historical building complex.
Following its establishment in 1926, the museum inherited collections from the Royal Natural Cabinet and Botanical Garden created in the eighteenth century.
The institution contributes to scientific education through exhibitions, conferences, and workshops while maintaining partnerships with research organizations.
Located at Rua da Escola Politécnica 56/58, the museum integrates the Lisbon Botanical Garden and accepts visitors through prior reservations.
A fire in March 1978 destroyed most of the zoology collection, leading to a complete reorganization and modernization of the institution.
