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.

The Foundation supports the creation, dissemination and research on plastic arts, history of art, archaeology and heritage, cinema, dance and theatre through grants.

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.
