Discover the fascinating private world of Calouste Gulbenkian on a tour that reveals the contents of his personal safe, a reflection of the collector's taste and life path.
On this visit, curator Vera Mariz explores a range of rarely exhibited pieces, including jewellery from the Houses of Lalique, Boucheron, Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, as well as delicate French lace and Ottoman embroidery. Exclusively dedicated to Gulbenkian’s contemplation or intended as gifts, these objects offer a privileged insight into the extraordinary life of the Collector.
