Calouste Gulbenkian Museum - Modern Art pertaining to the founder's collection - temporary exhibition - The 23rd of September 2017


I am particularly happy to have managed to break a seemingly paralysing routine, one I have allowed to take over me and my cultural needs lately. I finally ventured into Gulbenkian Museum and strolled around several exhibit rooms admiring some of the well know works of Art by painters and sculptors I had already seen before but also getting to know a few I had never heard of.
