Art

On the field of Arts - one of its four statutory aims - the Foundation maintains a Museum which houses the Calouste Gulbenkian private Collection, and a Modern Art Centre, which comprises and furthers the Foundation's collection of contemporary art works.

Through the Fine Arts Department, the Foundation supports the creation, dissemination and research on plastic arts, architecture and design, history of art, archaeology and heritage, cinema and theatre.

The Music Department manages two resident artistic groups - an orchestra and a choir - and annually promotes a music season, with the finest performers in terms of creation and musical interpretation, both national and internationally.
