The Gulbenkian is an attractive, modern museum which focuses on ancient and Oriental art, along with European art up till about 1850; its collection of such objects is surely impressive. However, there is not much from 1850 onward, though the art nouveau jewelry was unique. Nevertheless, it is probably the best art museum in Lisbon, and is worth a visit.

We spent a nice 2 hours. The museum doesn't have anything like the Louvre or the British museum or other top ones but still very enjoyable. A lot of "niche" kind of arts and relics.

the gulbenkian museum is set in lovely garden surroundings it gets busy i got there at 9 40 it opened at10 there was a queue you can take photos with out the flash.its a fantastic collection well worth a visit,

A wonderful museum near Sao Sebastian subway stop. It makes a perfect visit since it´s not too big. There is a wonderful Turkish tile collection, as well as Rembrandt and other paintings.

You go through in the order the gallery stipulates, which is not only chrononological but logical and quietly educative. The surrounding gardens - almost a zen-like design - are a must see as well.

If, in the Hereafter wherever I may be, I am permitted a day’s return to Planet Earth to visit one natural and one cultural wonder, at this late point in my life the choice would be the Iguassu Falls and the Gulbenkian. The reason for the latter choice includes its moderate size, allowing the whole collection to be seen in... More
