Edifício Pedro Álvares Cabral , antigos Armazéns Frigoríficos do Bacalhau, actual Museu do Oriente, Cultural museum in Estrela, Portugal
The Museum of the Orient occupies a six-story former cod storage warehouse with permanent exhibitions about Asian art and Portuguese maritime exploration.
The building began as Pedro Alvares Cabral Cold Storage Warehouse in the early 20th century, storing codfish before its transformation into a museum in 2008.
The museum displays over 1,500 artifacts from China, Japan, and other Asian countries, documenting centuries of Portuguese interaction with Asian cultures.
Located near Alcântara-Mar station, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday and offers guided tours in multiple languages with advance reservation.
The permanent exhibition includes a collection of Chinese theater masks and props from performances dating back to the Ming Dynasty period.
