Museu Nacional do Traje

Located in the Angeja-Palmela Palace, annexed to Monteiro-Mor Botanical Park, the Museu Nacional do Traje was created in 1976 and gathers collections of civil, national and international costume and accessories from the 18th century to the present day. Its collection also has collections of dolls and their costumes, painting and furniture, among others.

With permanent and temporary exhibitions, it consists mostly of donations from private individuals, but also from pieces from other national museums, with the female costume being the largest nucleus of the collection, with abundant representation of the 19th and 20th centuries. In essence, it aims to build a strategy for research, conservation and dissemination of costume and textiles.
