Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation headquarters
Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation headquarters, Cultural foundation and art museum in Avenidas Novas, Portugal.
The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation headquarters is a cultural institution with an art museum, concert halls, and library spread across a large campus. The site combines modernist buildings with sprawling gardens.
The foundation was established in 1956 following the will of oil magnate Calouste Gulbenkian and moved to its current building in 1969. Architects Ruy Athouguia, Pedro Cid, and Alberto Pessoa created a notable example of Portuguese modern design.
The foundation shapes cultural life in Lisbon through its exhibitions, concerts, and programs that engage different audiences. You experience a place where art appreciation connects with intellectual curiosity.
The campus has multiple entrances for different areas such as the museum, gardens, and library. It helps to study a site map first to find the areas you want to visit.
The collection spans Egyptian, Persian, Japanese, and European artworks, reflecting Gulbenkian's personal travels through different cultures. This broad range shows how one collector brought together treasures from across the world.
