Welcome to the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum
Regarded as one of the best museums in Portugal, the Gulbenkian Museum can take you from Ancient Egypt to the present day across its two collections. The Founder’s Collection and the Modern Collection each has their own specific presentation, but they also speak to each other in temporary exhibitions and projects. These set up dialogues across time, between different kinds of art and artefacts, and between East and West.
The Founder’s Collection is open from 10:00 to 18:00 and closed on Tuesday and on the following days — 1 January, Easter Sunday, 1 May, 24 and 25 December. New weekend opening hours: 9:30 – 12:00, free admission on Sundays.
The Modern Collection is closed for renovation works on the building and on the south part of the garden. The reopening is scheduled for 2022.
