Pinacoteca do Estado de Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo

I loved this museum. I have been to many museusm around the world, but I found the experience here to be extremely unique. Each room you enter had a placard that not only explained the exhibit, but asked thought provoking questions, that made you really view the exhibit with an open mind. This was definitely a very unique experience. And the building itself was also a work of art to be enjoyed. Make sure you give yourself at least 3 hours here to really walk through all the museum has to offer.

This is truly one of the best museums in the world. Pinacoteca is one of those places that you would need days to truly understand and decompress. With a great collection of Brazilian Modernist Era, the museum’s architecture details its a must all by itself. Besides it’s great collection the museum also have temporary exhibitions with great artists, so it be good to check it before attending. The tickets to temporary exhibitions and weekends tends to sold out very quickly, and there is one day of the week where you can get in for free. If you’re going by public transportation be careful to the surroundings, the neighborhood it’s not dangerous but don’t be distracted with your belongings. Also take some time to walk in the garden with lots of sculptures by different artists is a very enjoyable experience by itself. If you wanna take some pictures I suggest the afternoon lighting that enters that glass ceiling, it’s just idyllic.

This museum is one of the oldest in São Paulo. The art collection is huge, each room is overflowing with different pieces. In a way it is actually quite overwhelming and intense, it’s difficult to digest the sheer amount. There is no flowing journey or consistency. There is deep contrast not just room to room, but often throughout a room. You would need to spend an entire day here to truly begin to appreciate and digest what’s on display. It’s quite remarkable at the same time. I recommend a visit.

The Pinoteca is a very complete museum you can see many types of art, If you like the modern and abstract art you must visit this place, the building by itself is beautiful, only you need to be careful, because the neighbourhood is not safe

One of the top museums in town, and probably my favourite. Focusing on Brazilian and Latin American Art, but not just, offers an interesting and contemporary museology, displaying artworks from different centuries side by side, by theme, by narrative, offering an interesting take on the walks of visual expression (and topics for conversation). These conversations can be held at the outdoors tables from the café on the ground floor (close to the exit), with great views on Parque da Luz. The building itself is gorgeous, made even more so by Pritzker Prize Paulo Mendes da Rocha's remodeling. Hail to Emanoel Araújo.
