Monument closings in 2025

In planning a trip to Portugal for this fall, I have found out that the following monuments are closed for renovation in 2025:
Belém Tower (may have interim openings),
National Museum of Archeology,
National Museum of Costume,
National Museum of Music (which is scheduled to open in Mafra),
National Museum of Theatre and Dance,
National Museum of Ancient Art

The National Museum of Azulejo (Tile Museum) will also be closed, at least for part of the year.
The Convent of Christ in Tomar: closed for restoration of the cloisters (D. João III and Santa Bárbara) and the rehabilitation of the Paço Henriquinho and Alcáçova/Castle, plus the garden.

Would appreciate it if recent travelers could confirm that the Jerónimos Monastery has reopened after the scheduled renovation that started in 2024.

And does anyone know if there are any additional monuments in Portugal that are closed in 2025 for renovation? Many thanks!

We went to Jeronimos Monastery, the Tile Museum and Convento de Cristo in March. The only closure I know of is the Gulbenkian until next summer.

Thank you, Katheryne. Glad you found those monuments open.
Here are the websites I found related to 2025 closures:

https://www.portugalpulse.com/museums-and-monuments-of-portugal-says-that-museums-under-renovation-continue-to-work/ The article says that monuments "continue to work" but it sounds like they're referring to activity not in the public areas.
