The Museu Calouste Gulbenkian, located on the historic Avenida de Berna within a 7.5-hectare park near Praça de Espanha, houses one of the most refined private art collections in the world. Founded by Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian, the collection is now part of a Museum inaugurated in 1969, designed by Portuguese architects and immersed in an elegant landscape setting. The collection includes over 6,000 works spanning 5,000 years of artistic history — Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Islamic, and Oriental art up to the early 20th century. Inside are masterpieces by Rembrandt, Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Turner, as well as precious decorative arts including furniture, carpets, tapestries, ivory, and a vast collection of jewelry and glass by René Lalique. The Museum also offers Greek coin collections, a splendid section dedicated to Asian art (Japanese prints, Chinese porcelain), and a room entirely dedicated to Gulbenkian's personal treasure. The building, surrounded by the park designed by Vladimir Djurovic, is known for the recent renovation of the Centro de Arte Moderna (CAM) by Kengo Kuma: a engawa covering that connects nature and architecture, enhancing the continuity between interior and exterior.
