Above and below are some examples of the traditional blue tiles from Portugal. |
Lucky kids were getting an art lesson in the beautiful surroundings of the Tile Museum. How come school wasn't like this when I was there?! |
This woman is restoring old tiles. It looked like painstaking work- and look at the stack she still has to work on (behind her). That's what I call 'job security'. |
This family were quietly drawing the beautiful, intricate designs. |
The tiles above and below are from the 1500's. There were a lot of modern tiles too, and I'll show them in the next post. |

Who knew there was a tile museum in Lisbon?
it was excellent, took us several hours to see the whole thing. There's an excellent restaurant too (well, you know, food first). Maggie
