Cosy art gallery
We arrived here in the late afternoon (4pm), there was a handful of people. The ticket normally cost 10€, but they have discount for people under 30 and over 60 so it cost half of the price (we are student under 30). The exposition was alluring - there were plenty of historical and artistic utensils, carpets, jewelry, coins, painting and statues. This place was really agreeable although they were closing kind of soon (6pm), so we had to rush our visit because of the closing.

Amazing museum, go when its free
Every piece in this museum was bought by Calouste Gulbenkian. This was his personal collection left by his estate after his death, so the fact that tickets cost 10 euro is a bit much. Still the curators did a good job, there was even a special exhibit of just Egyptian artifacts to visit
