Postcard published by Comer, Lisboa, nº 779.

The museum was created on 23 May 1905, at the initiative of Queen Amélia of Orléans and Braganza, the wife of King Carlos I (1889–1908), with the aim of gathering, safeguarding, and presenting to the public an important collection of carriages belonging to the Royal House. The collection is housed across two buildings: the 1787 Royal Riding School of the Belém Palace in Afonso de Albuquerque Square, and a 2015 modern building opposite on Avenida da Índia. The collection comprises around 9,000 objects including ceremonial and gala vehicles and equestrian accessories.
