Museu de Arte Moderna da Bahia, Art museum in Solar do Unhão district, Salvador, Brazil
The Museu de Arte Moderna da Bahia occupies a renovated industrial complex situated along the Bay of All Saints. The building contains multiple galleries displaying modern and contemporary works by artists from Brazil and beyond.
The museum opened in 1963 within a building that once served as part of a psychiatric hospital complex. Converting the structure for art exhibitions represented a significant transformation of the site's purpose.
The museum displays works by Brazilian artists exploring color, form, and local subjects that reflect their personal surroundings. These pieces show how creators from this region have developed their own artistic language over time.
The museum is accessible by public transportation or car, with parking available on-site. Daily guided tours help visitors understand the collections and the layout of the complex.
The museum features an outdoor sculpture garden where art installations sit among trees overlooking the bay. This space creates an unusual blend of contemporary art with natural water views.
