What to expect

Founded in 1969, the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum presents an eclectic and unique collection amassed by Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian, with works ranging from Ancient Egypt to Art Nouveau. Get ready to travel through 5.000 years of history and enjoy one of the best private collections in the world surrounded by an iconic modernist garden.

The museum galleries are distributed in chronological and geographical order, creating two independent circuits within the overall tour.

The first one encompasses the Eastern and Classical Art on display in the Egyptian, Greco-Roman, Mesopotamian, Eastern Islamic, Armenian, and Far Eastern galleries. The second circuit features European Art starting with works in ivory and illuminated manuscripts, followed by a selection of 15th, 16th, and 17th-century sculptures and paintings.

French 18th-century decorative arts have a special place in the museum with outstanding gold and silver objects and furniture, as well as paintings and sculptures. These decorative arts are followed by galleries exhibiting a group of paintings by the Venetian painter Francesco Guardi and 18/19th-century English paintings.

The museum tour ends with a superb collection of jewels and glass by the renowned artist René Lalique, who was a personal friend of Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian.
