Muzeum prezentuje prywatną kolekcję magnata naftowego Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkiana: około sześciu tysięcy dzieł, z których tysiąc udostępniono na ekspozycji. Zbiór obejmuje zabytki od starożytnego Egiptu przez świat islamu, Chiny i Japonię po malarstwo europejskie, francuskie meble oraz biżuterię René Lalique’a. Modernistyczny budynek, zaprojektowany przez Ruy Jervis d’Athouguia, Alberto Pessoa i Pedro Cida, otwarto w 1969 roku; wychodzi on na Gulbenkian Garden. Muzeum ponownie otwarto 18 lipca 2026 roku po trwającej 18 miesięcy renowacji, która przywróciła pierwotne materiały i wzbogaciła obiekt o nową salę numizmatyczną.
