About
The University of Lisbon's science and natural history museum fills the old Escola Politécnica building in Príncipe Real. The standout for kids is Among Dinosaurs, built around Allosaurus fossils dug up near Pombal, with skulls, bones and dig-site displays.
Other halls cover Portugal's wildlife and landscapes, and the 19th-century Laboratorio Chimico teaching lab is part of the visit. The Lisbon Botanical Garden sits next door.
