Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Great museum. With the monastery closed next door we checked out this place. Very nice models of military ships. Good historical information as well. The 2nd building contains a number of royal barges. Very interesting. Well worth the visit.

    The museum has some very interesting pieces, esp. medieval period weapons and armor, a large collection of cannons, and some firearms. It suffers from an obvious lack of funding (which is understandable since the admission price is 3eu). It seems like the museum is an afterthought of the Portuguese Military that runs it. If they had a professional museum director and staff with some money, this could be an amazing museum (like the Maritime Museum is, which is down the road and is superb). That said, it's well worth the 3 euros admission and has some cool stuff (the caricature figurine collection was a neat idea). It is lacking in more modern Portuguese military exhibits, outside of some uniforms. The weapons on display are quite limited. Given how much space they have and the long history of Portugal, there's a lot of unrealized potential.

    This museum is located in a historic barracks in the Chiado district and next door to the Convento do Carmo.

    The Museum is dedicated to the history of the GNR and contains both a library and archive..

    Members of the GNR are military personnel and have served overseas in peacekeeping roles.

    The building had been well maintained and painted in cream with heritage green doors.

    Thks museum is run by the assocation of old soldiers. It hás a resume of the war between Portugal and the countries that were once colonies. Is is easy to viait and to experiment some of the old equipemnet.
