Beautiful museum! There were great pieces displayed in a very tasteful manner. Plenty of space was dedicated to each item so that it could be properly appreciated. The layout of the museum goes basically from oldest to newest and the Lalique pieces at the end were the icing on the cake! Be sure and get the museum app as it explains some pieces in other languages which helps as nothing in the museum was in any other language than native!

Amazing experience on the overall! The exhibitions are impressive and the place has got an incredible modernist building and amazing garden. Just for the exhibition me and my wife spent almost 4 hours, looking carefully and on a no rush mood. Next time we will get early to enjoy the outside space. Bonus: if you are under 30 you have 50% off

Unfortunately the museum of Modern Art of the larger Gulbenkian museum is closed for extensive renovation and won't open any time soon. When I was there end of 2022 only the concrete main structure was standing while the rest was stripped. Looking at one of the plans when the renovation is done it will be quite a sight and hope to visit it soon then

The Gulbenkian has two separate buildings. The Modern Arts Museum is currently closed as they complete what appears to be an exciting renovation. The other building is open and has a great collection and when I visited had a temporary exhibition of Jorge Queiroz and Ayrshire Gorky, but that was it for modern art.

Just perfect. See my other review. Great gardens, inside works of art and much more. If in Lisbon should be high on your list to visit! Tickets cost €11.50 - €10 just for Founders Collection and Modern collection. 50% discount visitors up to 29 and above 65 - 20% discount with Lisbon card Lisbon Sightseeing and Ciênca Viva card. Free admission Sunday after 14.00 hrs! Enjoy

This modern concrete (not contemporary) museum is beautifully positioned into the landscape. Try the lunchroom in the back instead of the busy one at the entrance. The art collection is undefined. Too many one-offs. But the quality is high among the classical and contemporary artworks. Two William Turners from the permant collection made the visit worthwhile. The best museum in town to suprise yourself and visit more than once

The museum is currently being renovated to showcase art and nature - an integrated approach and from what I have seen it is going to be glorious! That said there is still plenty of art to enjoy. This was an amazing collection of Modern Art. The curating is fantastic with plenty of space to enjoy viewing up close or from a distance. Many Portugués artists as well as a focus on women artists. Highly recommend.

The modern section of this museum was closed for redevelopment when I visited in Nov 2022. The older section of the museum is still open. Do not miss the gardens located between the two museums, it’s tranquil and beautiful, an oasis in the middle of the city.

(Translated by Google) Good taste and cost performance. There are so many people that you have to wait in line during lunch time. (Original) 맛도, 가성비도 좋은 곳. 점심시간에는 줄서서 기다려야 할 정도로 사람이 많아요

Magnificent. Second to none. One of the greatest collection of art in the world. Beautiful architecture, impressive landscaped gardens. Superior visitor experience.

Really lovely manageable fine arts museum in Lisbon. Less hectic makes more enjoyment! This museum has a really nice feel. Rather than the overwhelming anxiety one might feel in the Musee D’Orsay walking bot like through room after room of mind numbing impressionist masterpieces; that experience reminding you of the desperation you felt to find the exit at the IKEA store after you foolishly went to the 3rd floor for the pancakes and lingonberries. Worry not! the Gulbenkian is in a modern, one story building, not an old train station. And the space flows with semi private rooms featuring groupings of exquisite representational pieces of a particular place, time and type of object. Mr Gulbenkian collected a wide array of art, and rather than specializing on a particular era or medium, his collection features a few examples of exceptional quality. From Middle Eastern garments, to Chinese porcelain, to Rodin sculptures to mideval Madonna and Child portraits, it is very easy to move around the museum to focus on those works that you’re most interested in. The openness of the space helps one feel less claustrophobic. There’s also a beautiful picnicking area outside, and the architecture of the museum building itself is impressive. As I’ve said, I believe the Gulbenkian Fine Arts Museum, a gift to Lisbon from an Armenian Immigrant, is the “leading fine arts museum You’ve never heard of.” Well, now you have. Go see it.

Very few private art collections in the world can rival. Lisbon is the perfect setting for the pieces acquired by Calouste Gulbenkian.

The modern art section of the museum is closed until 2022. The park is beautiful and worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) Inexplicable that an institution with such prestige has not announced the closure of the museum until 2022 (Original) Inexplicable que una institución con tanto prestigio no haya anunciado el cierre del museo hasta 2022

Loved the ammount of artifcats and paintings and exposition is great

Keep in mind that European contemporary art means after the 13th century. Minimal 19th and 20th century items. Nice selection of art well displayed. Many of the descriptions are a bit low to read.

Amazing permanent collection includes Rembrant, Reubens, Robert, Millet, Degas, Renoir, and many more. Interesting collection of ancient coins Persian glass and ceramic. The modern art side is closed for renovation

Worth visiting. A huge collection. Best part is carpets, coins and impressionists) I loved to see the children coming to sit under paintings to discuss their vision of it. Be sure to walk through the park, there are plenty art objects, sculpture s and installation to see. In fact Gulbenkian museum consists of two parts. His basic collection and the modern art museum. Well the collection part for was the best

A must see.

The place is really nice, but gets loud at lunch.

So good! What an amazing private collection this man accumulated and what exquisite taste. A real highlight of any trip to Lisbon. And the grounds are magnificent too.

(Translated by Google) Very good art museum, divided into two sections modern art and oil tycoon Gulbenkian art collection, it takes time for you to admire the whole collection. I highly recommend it (Original) Muy buen museo de arte, dividido en dos secciones arte moderno y la colección de arte del magnate petrolero Gulbenkian, lleva tiempo para que puedas admirar toda la colección. Te lo recomiendo ampliamente

It is a must see when in Lisbon

Amazing collection of unique masterpieces. Has wonderful cafeteria with outdoor seating. A must visit on your Lisbon trip. What exquisite taste Caloust Gulbenkian had. See the bookstore for fine selection of souvenirs and his legacy biography books in different languages, including in Armenian language

A very beautiful museum. Had the chance to see the exhibition of the private collection of Calouste Gulbenkian for his 150th anniversary and it was enriching. A great treasure he left behind for Lisbon and humanity.

The building and garden are beautiful. The restaurant and coffee place serve nice and affordable food. Depending on what’s on, the place is more or less worth a visit for foreigners and depending of your interest in Portuguese history, which is shown a lot. And in times of global warming, the air-conditioning can be set at a lower rate; inside the buildings it is unpleasantly cold.

(Translated by Google) Good permanent and temporary collection. Open space with two locations, and several spaces to eat. Various outdoor works and amphitheater (Original) Buena colección permanente y temporal . Espacio abierto con dos sedes , y varios espacios para comer . Varias obras aire libre y anfiteatro

Great museum, where you can see some master prices like Reubens, Rodin, monet, etc... The temporary exposition of mirrors "beyond the mirror" it is very interesting. I really recommend the museum and the surrounding park/garden.

The gallery is set in beautiful, tranquil gardens. A cool and peaceful oasis in the heat and noise of Lisbon. Turtles, carp and ducks swim in ornamental ponds that thread through bamboos, tropical ferns and trees. The collection is wonderful, a trip through the finest examples of European, oriental and Egyptian art. The Rembrandt's are worth the trip alone.

Interesting exposition. Beautiful park, landscape, and places to eat.

Free park to visit, looks pretty nice and is very various in different plants and animals. Take some peas or beans to feed the ducks :)

At the time of my most recent visit to the Gulbenkian Foundation's modern and contemporary art galleries I was very fortunate to see a screening of Grada Kilomba's stunning and thought-provoking film-based installation "Narcissus and Echo" (2019) - which was presented in 12 parts across a vast floor-to-ceiling screen, and accompanied throughout by the recitation and narration of poetic verse and lyrical storytelling. In addition, the modern and contemporary sculpture section featured a diverse range of pieces, from 20th century Art Deco figurative works through to more recently created geometric and minimalistic, abstracted designs.

Glorious collection of antiquities and artworks bequeathed to the people of Portugal by the Getty-like oil magnate Calouste Gulbenkian. A stunning art collection in a gorgeous setting. It is FREE on Sundays after 14:00.

The museum is beautiful and interesting. The gardens are delightful and I spent an hour exploring them. The plaques defining the exhibits in the museum are a disaster. The writing is too small, the contrast of the print and background is impossible. The actual descriptive information is posted nearly on the floor making it difficult to see to read. It is at a height convenient for a small child to read, one too young to even know how to read. The lighting is poor and arranged such that you make a shadow over the information making it even harder to read. Some descriptions are laying flat behind glass, white letters on gray background totally impossible to read.

Eco-brutalist building with amazing gardens and an interesting art gallery.I love it

It's a very beautiful and interesting museum, full of Portuguese art. It has a very helpful timeline that helps interpret the works and the general layout is very confortable to walk. It's a recommended place to visit in Lisboa.
