Estação Pinacoteca, Art museum in downtown São Paulo, Brazil.
Estacao Pinacoteca occupies a restored 1914 industrial building with multiple exhibition floors displaying contemporary and modern Brazilian artworks. The spaces also house the Walter Wey Library and Documentation Center, a research facility focused on Brazilian art history and materials.
The building was constructed as a warehouse in 1914 and later served as an administrative headquarters during Brazil's military period from 1942 to 1983. Architect Haron Cohen redesigned it as a museum in 2004, preserving its original industrial character.
The museum draws visitors interested in contemporary expression and modern Brazilian perspectives. The exhibitions and library attract artists, researchers, and students who engage with questions about national identity and artistic practice.
The museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday and offers guided tours and workshops alongside temporary exhibitions. Plan your visit for less crowded afternoon hours, and bring identification if you qualify for reduced admission rates.
The museum houses specialized galleries preserving memories and artwork from the resistance movement against Brazil's military dictatorship. This collection tells stories of artistic activism during a repressive period and remains an important witness to that history.
