Calouste Gulbenkian Museum

It closes every Tuesday, as of Nov 2026. Next special hours: 24 December 2026: closed. On open days a combined ticket covers the Founder's Collection, the Modern Collection and temporary shows, and the garden paths between the buildings are open to all.

Yes, on some evenings. On Saturday, until 9:00 PM. These late hours are as of Nov 2026. A late visit is often calmer, since many other sights have closed by then, and the Lalique room of jewels and glass makes a fine finish to a day of walking.

On a typical open day the hours are 10:00 AM–6:00 PM, as of Nov 2026. The museum closes on one weekday and opens late on another, both shown in the hours box. Arriving soon after opening leaves time for the Founder's Collection, the garden and the Modern Collection.

In our plans: Day 7, “LX Factory & Calouste Gulbenkian Museum”. The museum sits north of the centre in Avenidas Novas, so it suits a half-day of its own, with a walk in the foundation's garden. It is also a calm choice on a rainy day.
