One of Europe's finest private art collections, assembled by oil magnate Calouste Gulbenkian and spanning 5,000 years from ancient Egypt to Art Nouveau Lalique jewelry. The building itself is a masterpiece of 1960s Portuguese modernism set in beautiful gardens. The Modern Collection annex next door is equally impressive and often overlooked. Locals genuinely love this museum, which keeps it feeling authentic rather than purely touristic.
