Message from Management
The Quake is a museum that makes us see and feel the great Lisbon earthquake. It is an invitation, in the form of a journey through time, to learn more about Lisbon, the seismic events and the Age of Enlightenment.
Located in Belém, Quake is a museum that combines entertainment and know-how to offer you an immersive and interactive experience that you won't soon forget.
Even today, when we walk through the streets of Lisbon, stories of the great earthquake lurk around every corner: the orthogonal plan of the Baixa, the relationship we have with the river and the popular expressions we still use today. But what about the lively medieval streets? And what were the different plans that were on the table for the reconstruction of the city? What historical, philosophical and scientific consequences did the earthquake bring to an Enlightenment Europe?
Designed for locals and visitors, families and groups of friends, history buffs, amateur scientists and those looking for thrills and different activities, the Quake will take you back in time and project you to Lisbon in 1755 to feel the impact of an earthquake, reproduced by a simulator, video mapping and special effects.
Expect the unexpected in this journey where you will discover how the earthquake changed the face of Lisbon forever and shook the old continent.
