A former house on Campo Grande holding the work of Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, the 19th-century cartoonist and ceramicist. Kids hunt for ceramic frogs, lizards, lobsters and cabbage-leaf plates, then meet Zé Povinho, the cheeky everyman he drew for Portuguese newspapers.

The garden outside has giant ceramic animals, including a crab fountain and a lizard climbing the hedge, with benches in the garden and patio.
