Beyond what we see: the collections of the Art Library

Cartão Gulbenkian Mais programme

Event Slider

Visitors to the Art Library’s reading room are often surprised by the limited number of shelves they see. It’s remarkable for such a well-known library to have so few books!

This visit, specifically for the Cartão Gulbenkian Mais holders, not only highlights the history of the Art Library through selected works from its documentary collection – including materials from some of its special collections, with a focus on the Founder’s private library – but also provides insight into where and how books are stored.

Exclusive programming has a limited capacity. If you can’t attend, return your ticket up to 48 hours in advance using the Contact Form (select Information Request and Cartão Gulbenkian).
