Museu do Fado, Lisbon

I love everything connected to Fado, and in this museum, you can go through the history of this unesco protected Portuguese gem! There was a room in which you can sit and listen to historical records of Fado songs and performers arranged in alphabetical order where I was for the majority of my time in museum. Beautiful museum.

A very basic museum about fado. Mostly deals with the feeling of fado, without going in depth into the style or the artist. Still, if you're interested in some sort of musical history, check it out. It's not expensive. The biggest part is about the singing, and the element of soul to it. There's some attention to the Portuguese guitar and regular guitar ("viola"). Live music would spruce the place up, but that might have just been because I went on a weekday out of season.
