About
The National Coach Museum (Museu Nacional dos Coches) is located in Lisbon, Portugal. First established in 1905 as the Royal Coaches Museum (Coaches Reaes Museum), the museum houses historic horse-drawn coaches and carriages that belonged to the royal houses of Portugal from the 16th to the 19th century. The collection is housed across two buildings: the 1787 Royal Riding School of the Belém Palace in Afonso de Albuquerque Square, and a 2015 modern building opposite on Avenida da Índia. The collection comprises around 9,000 objects including ceremonial and gala vehicles and equestrian accessories.
