This world-class museum presents the extraordinary collection of Calouste Gulbenkian, an oil magnate and art collector who left all of his art to Lisbon upon his death. A foundation was created in his name, and in addition to the museum with his collection there is a modern art center showing 20th century Portuguese and British art, and an auditorium in the foundation’s main building for a rich cultural program of international artists and the foundation’s own orchestra and choir.
