Inhotim, Botanical garden and sculpture center in Brumadinho, Brazil
The institute spans 140 hectares of landscaped grounds, containing galleries and art installations integrated within Atlantic Forest and Cerrado natural environments.
Mining entrepreneur Bernardo Paz established the Inhotim Institute in 2006 to display his private art collection, transforming former mining land into gardens.
The gardens house 4300 Brazilian plant species and 500 artworks from national and international creators, forming Brazil's largest open-air contemporary art museum.
Located 60 kilometers from Belo Horizonte, the institute remains open from Wednesday through Sunday with separate admission fees for adults and students.
The Equatorial Greenhouse contains rare specimens including the Carrion flower, which produced its first recorded bloom at the facility in 2010.

Private art museums and galleries of international importance. The selection includes institutions like Benesse Art Site Naoshima in Japan, Dia:Beacon in New York, and Sammlung Boros in Berlin. These locations combine contemporary art with notable architecture and distinct settings.
Brazilian architectural heritage reflects centuries of history, from colonial fortifications to contemporary structures. In São Paulo, the Flag Monument pays tribute to colonial expeditions, while in Belém, the Peace Theater recalls the prosperity of the rubber era. In Curitiba, the Oscar Niemeyer Museum showcases modern Brazilian architecture, and in Rio de Janeiro, the National Library holds over 9 million works in a neoclassical building. This collection brings together diverse sites that tell the story of the country’s development: military fortresses like São José de Macapá from the 18th century, cultural institutions like the Museum of Tomorrow focused on environmental issues, and managed natural spaces such as the Curitiba Botanical Garden. These sites offer an exploration of Brazil's history, architecture, and culture.
