The Military Museum of Lisbon has a vast and valuable museum heritage.

It began to be organized in 1842 at the Royal Armory of the Army by Baron Monte Pedral for the purpose of storing and conserving war material.

In the reign of D. Maria II, by Royal Decree of December 10, 1851, the building was renamed Artillery Museum, a name that would retain until 1926, when it was renamed.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, its first Director, General José Eduardo Castelbranco, to support the exhibition of the pieces, decorated new rooms with works by our best artists of the time of painting, sculpture and tiles.
