Ceremonial barges in the maritime museum, Lisbon

The Museu da Marinha, Lisbon

The maritime museum of Lisbon is located in a wing of the Jeronimos Monastry, close to the Belem Tower. It is a major tourist attraction. It holds a large and fine collection of items focusing on the age of discovery (16th century maps, astrolabes, paintings, ship models) and ceremonial barges. When we were there in September 1998 I was most impressed by the many elegant, richly decorated barges.

There is some more information on the maritime museum in a tourist information website.
