Museu da Água, Water museum in São Vicente, Portugal
The Water Museum occupies a former steam pumping station building at the Barbadinhos complex, displaying industrial machinery and water supply equipment.
The museum opened its doors on October 1, 1987, in a structure that previously served as the final reservoir of the Alviela Aqueduct from 1880 to 1928.
The permanent exhibition spans multiple floors and presents the evolution of Lisbon's water infrastructure through artifacts, documents, and technical installations.
Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday through Saturday between 10:00 and 17:30, with reduced admission prices available through the Lisboa Card.
The museum maintains original steam-powered machines from the 19th century that once distributed water across different neighborhoods of Lisbon.
