Gulbenkian Garden Meeting point: Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation Atrium

Pricing

3,00 € − 5,00 € 
This tour examines the design of the Gulbenkian Garden and its new southern extension.

Is a garden a work of art, or a work of nature? How do we design something that, like a living being, must follow the laws of life itself? What do we wish to create when we design a garden?

Conceived in close dialogue with the Foundation’s buildings, the garden reflects the landscapes of Portugal and embodies a distinctly Portuguese vision of paradise.

In the event of adverse weather conditions, the activity will take place indoors. Confirmation will be given up to two days before the scheduled date.

Duration: 90 min Participants: 10 – 25 Language: Portuguese / English / French
