Drone Rules for Museu Dos Azulejos

The National Tile Museum is housed within the historic former Convent of Madre de Deus, a site of significant cultural and architectural value that requires rigorous operational control to prevent safety risks to visitors and to maintain the security of the facility. Due to the historical sensitivity of the structures and the continuous presence of patrons within the museum and its outdoor areas, all drone operators must avoid direct overflight of the museum buildings, courtyards, and event spaces at all times. Flying within this area without prior consent presents a potential hazard to the architectural heritage and violates the site's security protocols. Professional and commercial operators are strictly required to obtain formal, written approval from the museum’s management office prior to conducting any drone activities. This requirement ensures that all operations are carefully coordinated to avoid interference with public exhibitions, cultural preservation work, or events hosted at the facility. All pilots are legally obligated to maintain a direct visual line of sight with their aircraft, adhere strictly to the altitude and safety limits mandated by national aviation authorities, and respect the privacy rights of all individuals on the premises. Unauthorized drone operations in this vicinity are strictly discouraged and may be subject to intervention by security or local authorities.
