An excellent museum with the Fatima miracles depicted in a wonderful way. Loved standing next to the Pope as well.

I agree with some of the other reviewers. This small interactive museum should be one of the first things seen when visiting Fatima. It works mostly as a guided visit and the guides do an excellent job of explaining the story of the Fatima apparitions, putting it into historical context and using the visual panels to spotlight aspects of the story. What makes the museum great are the 3D projections of the Virgin Mary’s apparitions. There are three of them and the third one, showing the miracle of the sun, even includes heat sensors to give you the same sensation people had at the time when they they felt the sun descending onto the earth! The museum was very quiet when I visited in November so I had the privilege of getting a personalized tour of my own from my English-speaking guide, which was a great experience. The second part of the tour is smaller and self-guided, and includes some audio of John Paul II’s speeches in Fatima. If you want to learn more details about the story you can visit the Museo de Cera afterwards, but I would really recommend visiting this museum first as it gives a more ‘live’ first impression of the Fatima miracles.
