A large part of one of the wings of Praça do Comércio was taken over by this space telling the story of Lisbon through models and multimedia displays. Organized chronologically, it focuses on the main events and personalities that shaped the city over the centuries. The exhibition highlights five of the most dramatic episodes in the city's history and is divided into six sections. The first one tells the myths and facts of the Portuguese capital's first settlers, another one focuses on the "global city" resulting from the Age of Discovery, a third space is dedicated to the Great Earthquake of 1755 followed by "Pombaline Lisbon" or the state-of-the-art city redesigned by the Marquis of Pombal. That reconstruction led to the square where this museum is found, so another area is reserved for the life in the square over time. Finally, the last space focuses on general aspects of the city and there's a gift shop to get your Lisbon souvenirs. There will also be temporary exhibitions and everything is accompanied by commentary through a multilingual audioguide
