Gulbenkian Museum

The Calouste Gulbenkian Museum is located just north of the Lisbon city centre, just walking distance from where we are staying. The 60s style museum is run by the Gulbenkian foundation, founded by Calouste Sarkis. More about the history of this son of a weathy fanily of Armenian merchants can be read here.

At the museum, we saw an exhibition of Islamic Art. Not bad, but more interesting for me was the specially guided tour of the museum´s theatrical, administrative and operational space, including the archival photography studios. This tour was given by Carlos Azevedo, the museum´s archival photographer, but, also a Nomad member.
