Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- kpiddyBrisbane, Australia14,418 contributionsAfter a busy morning exploring Lisbon we made our way out to Museu Calouste Gulbenkian via the metro then a short walk to the entrance. On a Sunday after 2pm the museum is free to enter, a nice cost saver for a savvy traveler. In a little over one hour we had wandered through the museum at a leisurely pace to discover beautiful collections of ceramics, silk wall hangings, coins, paintings, spectacular jewellery, period furniture and more. Afterwards we explored the gardens around the museum building where there were many others enjoying the late afternoon weather, a nice place for a picnic.Written 7 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA18,523 contributionsYou will find this unique museum in the Belem area, a place that is easily reached by street car or train from Lisbon. This is a large building displaying royal coaches from several centuries, some very ornate. Good place to imagine what it would have been like to ride in one of these grand vehicles.Written 5 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Razzie BBirmingham, UK21 contributionsAn amazing private collection in a beautiful home set out the way it was. Away from all the tourists. There are delights to see in every room. Particularly impressive was the watch collection. Also, make sure to watch the video about the man who owned the house before viewing the watches. The photograph exhibition was a lovely bonusWritten 3 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Gemma D194 contributionsLocated in a beautiful spot on the river with great views, Maat is a funky space but limited on exhibits.
When we went, there was an interactive music piece and a thought-provoking collection based on a photographic journal.
The cafe is a great place to sit and enjoy the outlook to the other side of the Tagus, and you must also make sure to walk on the roof!Written 6 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The museum wasn't very busy and it was pretty inexpensive. It was a nice change of pace.Written 9 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- chinanelsonsRaleigh, NC191 contributionsAdmiring the works of Banksy, we were thrilled to find The Banksy Museum! Not only were his works so thoughtfully displayed, the entire staff was absolutely WONDERFUL—so friendly, so kind. I believe this museum should be added to the list of ‘must-sees’! Banksy’s work covers a myriad of emotions—sadness, happiness, laughter, but mostly it is thought-provoking. Going into the Ukraine room brought tears as well as hope. The minute you stepped into this area, you get just a taste of the devastation in Ukraine on so many levels. This is the most unique museum we have ever been in and my husband and I felt changed as we re-entered the world…..Thank you, Banksy!Written 6 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dawn K67 contributionsThis is the best collection of Art Deco and Art Nouveau you will find outside of Paris or Brussels
The tour is perfect and the guide so knowledgeable
Allow plenty of time to enjoy the experience as well as the wine afterwardsWritten 4 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Owned by a foundation dedicated to the furtherance of traditional material crafts, the museum abounds in magnificent examples of furniture-making, weaving and the like, assembled in tasteful, coherent fashion; while few pieces are actually from the house itself, all reflect the period of its original occupancy. Only guided tours are offered, and while docents stick to a pre-arranged script, all are knowledgeable and generous in answering questions.Written 17 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- thetravelorganizerTega Cay, SC619 contributionsWidely regarded as one of the best museums in all of Portugal, this museum is actually 2 buildings in an 18.5 acre park, easily accessible via the blue (azul) Metro line (Sao Sebastio stop). The Founder’s Collection includes works by Rembrandt, Rubens, Renoir, Monet, Degas, Manet, van Ruisdael, Cassatt and Gainsborough. The Modern Collection is considered to be the most complete collection of modern Portuguese art in the world. Admission is 10 euros, 50% reduction for ages 65+ (better than the discount offered by the Lisbon Card). The museum offers free WiFi and you can download and use a free guide to the collections on the Gulbenkian Museum App (free). Tip: Admission is free on Sundays from 2pm on.Written 22 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- mondragonLondon, UK226 contributionsWe wanted to see this when it was in Dulwich, London, but not entirely sure if it was the same one. It was great! Being a maths teacher and taking my 6 year old, we loved seeing the whole story of Escher and especially the mathematically impossible drawings! A great exhibition. The gift shop was a tad limited though.Written 31 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Anna_Maria39_11Winnipeg, Canada649 contributionsMy daughter and I really enjoyed this art museum. We spent well over an hour enjoying the two main exhibits on the first level as well as the exhibit showcasing some up and coming artists on the upper level. The building lends itself to some great photo opportunities, especially if you are fond of hallways.
The area around the Biaxa-Chiado metro station can sure be a swarm to the senses. This gallery was a needed respite from the crowds, noise and hot sun. There is also a pottery store near by which is a bonus reason to visit.Written 12 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Ther are maybe 20 oaintings of hers = four of which are for me so eutiful that it maes a trip to the foundariin worthwhile. And after the museaum a coffee and sime reading in the park‘s coffeshop (not part of the muswaum) - a true escape from downtown Lisboa‘s hectic.Written 1 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Beatriz MDüsseldorf, Germany5,677 contributionsInteresting small museum that not a lot of people know. It had free entrance (I dont know if it is always like this or just because of the reopening of the museums) so I went there. I did not know Santo Antonio was Portuguese. There was information about him, his life and how he is worshipped through the world. I think they could explain more how he became the patron of weddings and how there are so many beliefs that he finds you a husband. This would have been interesting.Written 30 April 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
