Museu do Fado, Music museum in Santo Estêvão, Portugal.

The Fado Museum displays an extensive collection of instruments, recordings, photographs, and documents related to the Portuguese musical tradition.

The building started as a water pumping station in 1868 with steam engines from E. Windsor & Fils before transforming into a museum in 1998.

The permanent exhibition contains paintings by José Malhoa and Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro that illustrate the connection between Fado and Portuguese visual arts.

Located near Santa Apolónia station, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, with audio guides available in four languages.

The museum maintains a digital sound archive containing thousands of recordings from the early 20th century, accessible through its website.
