Humana itself was 3 medium-sized floors, very neat & clean, with everything on a hanger. No mess whatsoever. Most items were ~7EU, so not expensive, but in comparison to what I can get here, not entirely cheap. ALTHOUGH money does supposedly go to a good cause, charity. I walked out empty-handed. No treasures here, at least during my visit. More "thrift" than vintage.

In some instances, it's just a repeat of the caption but some of them had different and more extensive information. I was here for about two hours to see the type of art I enjoy. Funded mainly by Calouste Gulbenkian (1869-1955) who was a British-Armenian businessman and philanthropist. He is credited with being the first person to exploit Iraqi oil. By the end of his life, he had amassed one of the finest private collections of works of art and was among the richest persons on earth. The majority of Gulbenkian's artwork is on display here, although his collection may be found in numerous museums across the world. According to his bequest, the museum was established to house and exhibit his collection, which is now owned by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. A selection of about 1000 of the museum's about 6,000 artifacts are on permanent exhibit. It is a varied collection. I enjoyed looking at an alabaster cup that dates back to 2600 BC, a bronze solar barque from 380 BC, 17th century Persian carpets, a tile panel from 1522 and Chinese vases from the 16th century and French 18th century. Paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens, Nattier, Vincent, Degas, Renoir, Monet, Sargent and more. This is one of the greatest varied collections I've seen. I enjoyed it more than I expected I would.
