Royal Treasure Museum Collections
“The Portuguese Crown Jewels and other treasures of the Royal House have been on public display at the state-of-the-art Royal Treasure Museum, at the Ajuda National Palace, in Lisbon, since June 2022. The unique historical, artistic, gemmological, and visual wealth of these collections set up the perfect scenario to bring together speakers of the highest international caliber to talk about treasures that belong, or once belonged, to ruling sovereigns and their families from various geographies across the globe,” Rui Galopim de Carvalho, TREASURES Master of Ceremonies and Programme Chair, said.
