Gulbenkian

The museum is housed in several modern buildings that are spread across a park-like campus that has water features, an amphitheater, and a restaurant.  After spending time in the commemorative exhibition, we had lunch in the museum's cafeteria, and then explored the main collection, which includes paintings, René Jules Lalique glassware and jewelry, Chinese porcelains, furniture, and most notably, turkish/arabic rugs, tiles, and ceramics.   The turkish/arabic collection is the highlight.
