Museu da Lourinhã

The museum exhibits an extensive collection of dinosaur fossils, life-sized replicas, and interactive displays focused on prehistoric life from the Late Jurassic period.

Established in 1984 by the Lourinhã Group of Ethnology and Archeology, the museum has grown into a major research center for paleontological discoveries.

The institution contributes to scientific education through workshops, guided tours, and educational programs designed for students and families throughout Portugal.

Located near the Atlantic coast, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday with reduced admission prices for students, seniors, and children under 12 years old.

The museum houses the Paimogo nest discovery, containing dinosaur eggs with preserved embryos attributed to the Lourinhanosaurus species.
