Nice small museum. Some good history about water and how it was historically supplied to Lisbon. The stem pump is interesting to view as well. It's a small the location is a little out of the way and parking by car isn't great. Overall good though.

It's a small museum with some really interesting information about water supply in Lisbon through centuries. It has an engineering room too. The room looks beautiful and if you are lucky they could even switch the machines on. I'd say the museum isn't in a must see list but definitely worth visiting if you stay in the area. Allotments nearby are cool too!

The museum is an old pumping station and you can see the steam machines that used to do the job until the 1930. Loved that the first thing they present is an installation on sustainability which shows you how much water is needed for various items from butter,eggs,apples to a mobile phone or a T-shirt. Also some interesting info on the Lisbon fountains, aqueduct and underground tanks.

An educative place, with interesting information regarding the water usage and history of the infrastructure in Lisbon. Good for kids (and adults) that like to make questions of the why and the how.

A wonderful educational experience of the great history and work put into developing the present day water system in Lisbon. This is one of 4 museums/locations around the city that all tie into one another, unravelling a fascinating look through the city's background (and backbone).

The main room is beautiful and impressive. However, it is a bit expensive (4€ per person) for what it is. The tour of the museum is quickly done and apart from the main room and the viewpoint on top of the building, there isn’t anything else to see.
