Municipality of Lisbon district.
The Museu da Lourinhã http://www.museulourinha.org/ has been situated in the centre of the town since its foundation in 1984.
This museum has the largest collection in Iberian Peninsula of dinosaur fossils from the Upper Jurassic and one of the most important in the world, as result it has been described as “the best small museum in the world for the funding it receives”.
Among these 150-year-old fossils there are various remains of carnivorous dinosaurs such as the Lourinhanosaurus antunesi, of gigantic herbivores like the Dinheirosaurus lourinhanensis and various carnivorous dinosaur fossil eggs containing the oldest dinosaur embryo eggs in the world, as well as the second largest known nest, more than a hundred years old.
The museum exhibits a series of dinosaurs that are the only known examples of these species. It is also possible to see a variety of fossils of invertebrates, fish, crocodiles, pterosaurs, turtles, mammals etc. of various geological ages.
