The National Coaches Museum opened in 1905 and contains the biggest and most prized collection of its kind in the world. Originally part of the Belem Palace, this 18th-century riding school was lavishly decorated, showcasing the flashiness and overwhelming wealth of the Portuguese elite at the time. On the museum's 110th anniversary it was moved across the street in order to display all the carriages and accessories that could not be previously shown. The new building was designed by renowned architect and Pritzker Prize-winner Paulo Mendes da Rocha, offering a setting worthy of its beautiful royal artisan carriages.
