Communications Museum
When delivering a letter was an adventure.
The Communications Museum (Museu das Comunicações), run by the Fundação Portuguesa das Comunicações, holds five centuries of postal and telecommunications history in Portugal. But here, history doesn’t stay behind the glass — it steps out onto the street, climbs aboard the carriage and crosses paths with danger along the way. In this theatre-visit, Joaquim, the Royal Mail Postilion, takes families on an immersive journey through time, from the first postal services of the 19th century to the age of telecommunications. An experience where no one is left out — because here, everyone is part of History.
