The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, a true oasis of culture and tranquility in the heart of Lisbon, offers visitors a unique experience with two extraordinary art collections housed in two distinct buildings connected by a stunning garden.

The Calouste Gulbenkian Museum hosts the magnificent private collection of Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian, featuring artworks that span over 5,000 years, from antiquity to the early 20th century. Visitors can admire pieces from ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, Rome, Mesopotamia, the Islamic Orient, Armenia, and the Far East, as well as masterpieces by European artists like Rembrandt, Rubens, Turner, and René Lalique. The collection is arranged chronologically and geographically, providing an engaging journey through time and art.

The Centro de Arte Moderna (CAM), recently renovated by the acclaimed architect Kengo Kuma, houses the largest and most significant collection of modern and contemporary Portuguese art, covering works from the early 20th century to the present. This collection showcases works by renowned Portuguese artists such as Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso or Paula Rego, and includes art pieces by English, French, and Armenian creators, highlighting a multicultural dialogue that enriches and broadens the understanding of contemporary art.

To complete your visit, do not miss the Gulbenkian Gardens, a carefully designed green space that perfectly dialogues with the modern architecture of the buildings. With winding paths, reflective ponds, and a variety of flora, the gardens invite relaxation and contemplation after an intense cultural visit. The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation is a place where art, nature, and history come together, offering an enriching and unforgettable experience for all visitors.
