We enjoyed the museum and the gardens!

This is one of the world’s finest private art collections, amassed over a period of 40 years by oil magnate Calouste Gulbenkian, who was one of the 20th century’s wealthiest men. In his later years he adopted Portugal as his home, and donated all of his stupendous art treasures to the country when he died in 1955 at the age of 86. The museum houses a collection of Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Islamic, Asian, and European art.
