The Museu do Fado in Alfama is an interactive museum dedicated to Lisbon's signature musical form — the soulful, melancholic Fado. Multimedia stations, original instruments, and rare recordings trace the genre from its 19th-century roots to modern reinventions.
Opened in 1998 in the Alfama neighbourhood where Fado originated among the dockworkers and sailors of Lisbon's harbour. The museum occupies a former water pumping station.
