The Museu Nacional de Etnologia, in Lisbon, keeps the memory of the ways of life of Portugal \u2014 and of the world: collections of rural life, crafts, music and traditions of the Portuguese people, together with the objects gathered in Africa and Asia in the time of the discoveries. It is one of the great museums of anthropology of the country, in the green quarter of Restelo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The museum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The museum was created in the 1960s to gather and study the material culture of the Portuguese people, and its collections grew with the fieldwork of generations of researchers: the instruments of the rural trades, the looms and the pottery, the masks and the music of the festivals, and the great collections brought from the former colonies. In its exhibitions, the objects speak of the ways of life that shaped the country \u2014 and of the dialogue between peoples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
