You're standing at the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, Lisbon's National Museum of Ancient Art. It's one of the most visited museums in Portugal. Don't let the name fool you, though. Ancient here doesn't mean Greeks or Romans. It's mostly art from the Middle Ages up to the early nineteenth century, a bit of a lost-in-translation moment.
