Museu Casa de Portinari

The Museu Casa de Portinari is an art museum in a residential house in Brodowski that preserves the workspace of Brazilian artist Candido Portinari. The building contains original furniture, personal items, and wall paintings that Portinari created during his lifetime.

The house was designated as a national heritage site in 1968 and opened as a museum in 1970 to preserve Portinari's artistic legacy. This decision secured the collection and made his work accessible to the public.

The museum displays over 2,800 sketches and drawings, with religious murals where saints have the faces of Portinari's family members. This personal interpretation of spiritual subjects gives the artwork a deeply personal character.

The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with virtual tours available through 360-degree interactive images. This option lets visitors explore the collection at their own pace.

The garden preserves original flowerbeds that spell out the Italian word 'DIO' surrounded by rose bushes. These plants were tended by Portinari's mother during her lifetime and remain a personal mark of his family.
