The Club held an interesting guided tour of the Lisbon Military Museum on 8th February.
The collection of bronze artillery pieces is considered to be one of the most complete worldwide, both for its inscriptions and heraldic symbols, and for the ornamentation in the style of the respective casting periods.
The 7 monumental paintings installed in the Great War Room in the 1930s draw an intense and humanist narrative of the conflict and constitute, in Portugal, a rare civic heritage without parallel at an international level. They are considered to be the best battle images in Portuguese art.
The Museum also has paintings by the most famous Portuguese painters of the late 19th and early 20th century, such as José Malhoa, Columbano Bordalo Pinheiro, Carlos Reis, Adriano Sousa Lopes, among others.
