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 When he died in 1935, aged only 47, he left over 30.000 unpublished pages that have thereafter been subject to integration into his collective work.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.

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.

Wonderful place to learn about the personal life and work of this amazing literary monster. The museum was recently remodeled, and the space is amazing. You'll learn about pessoa's private correspondance, the "birth" of the heteronyms, a collection of photos and personal items, and my favorite: his personal book library! Every book was digitized together with the marginalia and the collection is available at the museum website. The personnel is extremely well informed and available to guide you and share what they know.

Very well designed museum, excellent tribute to Pessoa’s life and literature. The exhibit on the heteronyms is the best. I also appreciated how well Pessoa’s poetic words were integrated into every part of the exhibit.

This place is amazing! A very concise museum, absolutely able to transport you to the life and work of Fernando Pessoa. It stays in the place where he last lived, is easily accessible by tram (I am sure, 28E, but there is another one too). Cheap to get into, it also has a restaurant/coffee place inside (with a very worthy menu of the 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.
