Museu da Língua Portuguesa

last weekend i went with my colleague, carol, to the "Museum of the Portuguese Language" at the magnificent old Estação da Luz.

when you first hear that it is a museum about the history of a language perhaps your first thought is complete boredom...unless you are a linguist perhaps...but this was one of the coolest, most interactive exhibitions i have been to and since we could only spend a bit more than an hour there i will definitely go back for further exploration.

wikipedia has a great description of the museum here:
