Museu de São Roque — Attraction in Lisbon

Well worth a visit to see the museum with its religious artifacts and Jesuit (Society of Jesus) connection. Then to see the oppulent São Roque church with its stunning sacristy recalling the life of the Navarrese missionary San Francisco Javier, co-founder of the Jesuits along with Ignatius of Loyola. San Francisco died in China in 1552 and is buried in Goa the former Portuguese Colony in India. Beyond there was an exhibition about the Portuguese in China. Very interesting place to visit for an understanding of Portuguese history. The museum includes a small restaurant with a lovely courtyard attached that has bamboo growing to remind us of the Sino- Portuguese connection. Next door is the Santa Casa de la Misericordia de Lisboa founded by Queen Leonor of Portugal in 1498. It is a Catholic lay brotherhood that is connected to the church. It is an international...

The Museum of Sao Roque is attached to the historic Church of Sao Roque at Largo Trindade Coelho. Entry is (€2.50 per adult). You can also see the church (free entry) as part of your visit.

The Museum includes two floors and probably 9-10 gallery rooms filled with church artefacts, artworks and other historic religious items. Highlight of the museum are the treasures from the Chapel of St. John the Baptist which is located in the Church near the high altar.

There is also a cafe with inner courtyard seating and access if you fancy a drink or bite to eat before or after your visit to the museum.

In the end, the collection at the Museum of Sao Roque is really good, a fitting complement to seeing the church and overall very good combined experience. Recommend allowing around 20+ minutes to browse the full...

In Sao Roque museu, I had the unpleasant experience of being pressured by staff in blue uniforms.

Around 6:20 in the evening, I passed by the museum ticket booth and was curious about the museum, so I wanted to look around it. But remnant time seemed short, so I decided to visit again the next day to see the museum. At that time, the ticket office staff kindly recommended that there was still 40 minutes of viewing time left, which means that I had enough time. Her recommendation made me to buy the ticket.

Later, at 6:40, an employee in blue uniform came and forced me to leave in 10 minutes with a rude and unfriendly tone! Although I explained what I was told by the ticket office lady, the blue shirt staff still pressured me to leave before 6:50. I felt very bad about being interrupted and forced while I was concentrating on watching, and the situation is very unreasonable.

At 6:50, the entire floor was turned off which makes the spectators unable to look around.

If the lights should be turned off at 6:50 and all visitors have to leave, it is necessary to inform the same thing at the ticket office. If the operating hours are REALLY until 7 o'clock, the rights of the person who bought the ticket must be sufficiently guaranteed until 7 o'clock. I want all staff of the museum should have a unified opinion about the operating hours and accurately guide visitors.

성당의 설립취지에 감동받고 아름다운 소장품들을 감사한 마음으로 감상하고 있었으나 파란 제복입은 직원들에 의해 압박받고 쫓겨나는 불쾌한 경험을 하게 되었습니다.

저녁 6시 20분경 박물관 매표소를 지나치다가 박물관이 궁금해서 둘러보고 싶었으나 시간이 얼마남지않아 보여서 다음날 다시 방문해서 박물관 관람하려고 했습니다. 그때 매표소 직원은 아직 관람시간이 40분이나 남아있으니 관람시간이 충분하다고 아주 친절하게 권해주어서 나는 결국 표를 구매했습니다.

이후 6시 40분에 파란 제복의 직원이 와서 무례하고 불친절한 말투로 10분안에 나가라고 강요했습니다! 우리는 7시까지 관람가능하다고 들어서 표를 구매한 것이라고 설명했지만 그녀는 막무가내로 6시 50분이 되기 전에 나가라고 강요하고 압박했습다. 집중해서 관람하던 중에 당한 방해와 강요가 매우 기분이 나빴고 그 상황은 매우 불합리합니다. 6시 50분이 되자 한 층 전체 전등을 끄고 자신들의 퇴근준비를 하느라 관람객이 더 둘러볼수 없게 만들었습니다.

6시 50분에 소등하고 관람객이 모두 나가있어야한다면 매표소에서도 동일하게 안내하는 것이 필요합니다. 하지만 운영시간을 7시끼지로 안내하고 있다면 7시까지 충분하게 관람하도록 티켓을 산 사람의 권리를 충분히 보장해야 합니다. 박물관에서는 모든 직원이 운영시간에 대해 일치된 의견을 가지고 관람객에게...
