It’s considered the largest media and communication experience in Europe. The News Museum in Sintra, just northwest of Lisbon, takes an interesting look at major events from the past as well as examines many aspects of radio and television news gathering, in general.
The four floors of exhibition space covers themes including key historical events, sports, advertising, radio, important journalists, photojournalism, broadcast news, bad news, and the future of news. The multimedia experiences are in Portuguese and English.
Dozens of hours of content is sourced from the libraries of RTP national broadcaster, LUSA news agency and EFE Spanish news agency.
