São Paulo City Art Collection, Municipal art museum in Paulista Avenue, São Paulo, Brazil

The São Paulo City Art Collection occupies a modernist building featuring a suspended structure supported by red rectangular columns and large glass panels.

Founded in 1947 by Assis Chateaubriand and Pietro Maria Bardi, the museum established itself as the first Brazilian institution to showcase post-World War II art.

The museum holds 8,000 pieces, including European paintings, Brazilian art, African artifacts, and Asian works, making it a central cultural institution in Latin America.

Visitors can access the museum Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM, with free admission on Tuesdays and the first Thursday of each month.

The collection contains the only painting by Raphael in the Southern Hemisphere, The Resurrection of Christ, donated to the museum in 1958.
