A lovely museum with much attention to detail, great way to dive into Pessoa’s life (lives) and Portuguese literature circles of his time. Absolutely recommend for literature fans and everyone looking for a quiet moment between the hustle of Lisbon’s touristic spots. Also an excellent example of inclusive museum culture, with everything being accessible for people with sight or hearing impairment.

If you're the typical tourist who takes a photo next to the Fernando Pessoa sculpture at the Café a Brasileira, you should at least know who he was. Excellent way and assembly to introduce this well reknown writer.

Visiting the Fernando Pessoa museum is a must for anyone interested in literature, poetry in particular. When he died in 1935, aged only 47, he left over 30.000 unpublished pages that have thereafter been subject to integration into his collective work. It's always very instructive to learn what writers read themselves and to my astonishment I found he had a deep interest in Astrology, at least to judge from a series of books in his personal library. The staff of the museum is very helpful and will recommend his books that are available in both French and English translations in the museum store. You can also order them on line.

Excellent museum celebrating the life and works of one of Portugal's greatest writers Fernando Pessoa. The displays and different rooms are very well done, especially the private library. Staff was very friendly and the whole experience was worth the 5 euros entrance fee.

Great museum filled with information about the author's life and work. Very nice installations and the atmosphere really gets you. Finally lots of nice things to buy at the gift shop. I would love to visit again and it's a very good opportunity for people who don't know the author to get to know him.

Super well put together museum about the writer. Highlights include books from his library and and his actual apartment from the last 15 years of his life. Found it all incredibly inspiring and if you enough to think about coming here, you should. Note, the gift shop was entirely empty of... anything, so don't plan to pick up your souvenir copy of the Book of Disquiet here.

This place was lovely and if you're in the zone you should totally check it out. It's very small and you can see the whole museum in less than an hour and learn a bit more about one of the most famous Portuguese poets to this day.

I'm so glad I discovered Fernando Pessoa. What a treasure. I could've hung out all day learning about him, listening to/reading his poetry. I got emotional at moments with how much his words resonated with me.
