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

With the use of multimedia technologies, we have recreated the historical events from the beginning of the twentieth century, the apparitions of the Angel of Portugal, the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima and the Miracle of the Sun.Experience how it happened!
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.

I caught a glimpse of the glass roof of a building from our window at the Hotel Lusitano and decided toast questions. The studio is one of the most stunning works of iron work and glass I have ever seen. It is quite small, and a guide takes you through the meticulously restored photography studio from the 1800s. I know it may not sound like the most exciting thing, but trust me, if you like architecture and sheer beauty you will love this place.

O MNF é um espaço vivo, povoado por pecas extraordinárias que contam a historia do caminho de ferro em Portugal. Aqui, a aventura do conhecimento começá no património cultural, passa pela reflexão sobre o papel histórico, simbólico e tecnológico do transporte ferroviário, procurando envolver o visitante numa experiência de partilha e experimentação que tem tanto de educativa. Esperamos por si!
This museum is so well planned, starting with a 2 minute screen display of the increases in speed of trains over 2 centuries. The layout of exhibits is ordered and easy to understand. Descriptions in most cases are in English, as well, of course, in Portuguese. There is lots to see and touch. The exhibition then goes outside to a fantastic collection of steam locomotives grouped around an original and still working turntable. There are about 10 locos, massive units from the mid C19 to the mid C20. There's the chance to view the Royal Train, and walk inside the Presidential Carriage. I spent 3 hours there, smiling all the time. All the guides are friendly and speak English, and a special thank you to Tomas, who is almost as good as the world's best tour guide, James A, at Chelsea Football Club. A great museum to visit.
