Maison lisboète de l’homme d’affaires et collectionneur António de Medeiros e Almeida (1895-1986), léguée à la nation en tant que maison-musée par l’intermédiaire de la fondation qu’il a créée en 1972. L’aile ancienne, restée intacte, conserve les pièces de vie du couple, tandis que l’aile nouvelle, construite au début des années 1970 sur l’emplacement du jardin, présente quelque 2 000 objets répartis dans 27 galeries. Parmi les pièces remarquables figurent une horloge de nuit du XVIIe siècle signée Edward East, qui appartint autrefois à Catherine de Braganza, une aiguière Ming ancienne aux armes du roi Manuel Ier, huit paysages de Jan van Goyen et des montres de poche Breguet.
