Calouste Gulbenkian Museum
Av. de Berna 45A
The project for the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and Museum, inaugurated in 1969, was the result of a limited competition that took place from, 1959 to 1960 between three teams of architects. The ambitious and detailed specifications for the new building were based on the premise that it should serve as ‘a perpetual homage to the memory of Calouste Gulbenkian, with its lines reflecting the essential features of his character – spiritual concentration, creative energy and simplicity in life’.
In this circuit a diverse range of pieces reflect various European artistic trends from the beginning of the 11th century to the mid-20th century. This section begins with works in ivory and illuminated manuscripts, followed by a selection of 15th, 16th and 17th-century sculptures and paintings.
