Inaugurated in 2008 in a unique building on Lisbon's waterfront, the Museu do Oriente presents itself as a multicultural museum that preserves, in all its aspects, the material and immaterial heritage of various Asian countries, through the testimonies of its two collections: Portuguese Presence in Asia and Kwok On.
The Portuguese presence in Eastern territories (India, Sri Lanka, China, Macao, Japan and East Timor) resulted, in addition to trade, in cultural, experiential, scientific, technical and religious exchanges that made it possible to get to know previously unknown worlds.
