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.

A very nice and expansive museum. The collection has works from masters such as Degas, Renoir, Monet and more. Additionally there are impressive ancient artifacts from Egypt, the Middle East, and Asia. It's a great collection that even includes rare furniture and jewelry. What's most impressive is how the museum displays everything. Nothing is crowded. Everything has space and balance. I recommend buying the All Inclusive ticket which is 14 Euros a person so that the entire museum can be explored but there are smaller price points if you are on a budget or don't have time to see everything.

A great place to spend time in the city when it's very hot outside. Every Sunday admission is free until 14.00 (it is better to check on the official website of the museum). The museum is surrounded by a beautiful park where the ducks roam. The museum has a huge collection of exhibits. Most of all I liked the collection dedicated to oriental ceramics. There is also a huge collection of paintings, sculptures and ancient tiles.

Wonderful museum and gardens. The museum itself is a beautiful cascading modernist concrete building that nestled into the landscape and responds well to its climate and context. The collection is impressive and varied with a few incomparable works by master artists. The gardens host a campus of buildings and activities amid cozy and well considered gardens. Part of the museum is currently under renovation

A wonderful museum located in a section of Lisbon away from most of the busy tourist spots. You can explore the park that surrounds the museum which we found very relaxing on a Saturday morning. The gallery itself is very well done providing a walking history of art through their collection. With such a varied assortment of fine art including some from grandmasters, I believe most would find the museum well worth their time.

The museums itself, housing this vast collection of art and artifacts, is already enough reason to visit. Starting from the main entrance, the concrete building and the greenery that flows from within it and around are such a sight to see! It’s truly a beautiful space full of serenity and modernity. The interiors do not disappoint, bit darker than I would like, they currently have an exhibit on Egyptian Pharaohs and it was incredibly enjoyable and well displayed. The museums houses several collection, from middle eastern carpets to Chinese ceramics. Some pieces of monet and degas. If you have some time walk around the gardens that surround the museum and enjoy the peace and scenery. I would not recommend to miss this place if you’re visiting Lisbon, you won’t regret it.
