Museu Calouste Gulbenkian
Marvel at the extraordinary range of artworks on display at Museu Calouste Gulbenkian. Formed from the private collection of Ottoman-born oil magnate Calouste Gulbenkian (of which only about one-sixth remains on permanent exhibition), the museum houses treasures spanning East and West and including Egyptian relics, Chinese porcelain, Western masterpieces, and everything in between. After browsing the galleries of paintings, jewelry, furniture, sculptures, and more, take a stroll in the landscaped park in which the museum resides. Put Museu Calouste Gulbenkian at the forefront of your travel plans using our Lisbon travel route planner.

There is a great collection here in a beautiful building. The city is justly proud that Mr. Gulbenkian left his money and collection here as a great asset to the city. Plan to spend the good part...

This is without the exaggeration the best museum I've ever seen. Never before has a museum managed to show something so cripplingly boring as ancient and oriental art and paintings (I'm sorry) in such a beautiful and intriguing manner. You will feel compelled to look at every single coin displayed. The collection is vast and beautifully preserved. A truly fine experience of art.

It’s a nice museums, not too crowded. On Sundays the entry is free in the afternoon, which is great. They have some nice events, such as concerts and workshops. But if you want to go to those book ahead, because on the same day it was sold out :(
