Calouste Gulbenkian Museum
This Museum was the last spot we visited in Portugal.  For us it was a wonderful surprise and one of the highlights of our time in this wonderful country. 
 Calouste Gulbenkian was a wealthy Armenian oil magnate with a passion for fine works of art.  He lived in neutral Portugal during WW 2 and on his death, bequeathed his fortune and his magnificent art to the nation.  His Foundation supports it's own orchestra, libraries, a ballet company, concert hall and the Museum.  The collection has a well deserved reputation of being one of the finest in Europe.
