Museu de Arte de Goiânia, Municipal art museum in Bosque dos Buritis, Goiânia, Brazil.
The Museu de Arte de Goiânia occupies a building in Bosque dos Buritis on Rua 1, Setor Oeste. It has two exhibition rooms: Sala Amaury Menezes, named for the museum's first director, for long-term displays from the collection, and Sala Reinaldo Barbalho, named for the artist and former director, for collection and guest exhibitions. A sectoral library serves the technical staff and the public.
The museum was founded in 1970 at Praça Universitária and moved to its current location in Bosque dos Buritis in 1981. This relocation was part of Goiânia's growth as a cultural center and provided more space for the expanding art collection.
The museum serves as a space where local and Brazilian artists display their work, reflecting the creative identity of Goiânia. Visitors encounter paintings, sculptures, and prints that show how artists from this region express themselves.
The museum occupies a building in Bosque dos Buritis, on Rua 1 in Setor Oeste, reached by taxi or public transport. It opens Tuesday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm and Saturday, Sunday and holidays from 10 am to 4 pm, with free admission. Audio guides are offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish.
The two exhibition rooms honour people central to the museum: the Sala Amaury Menezes is named after the professor and visual artist who became its first director, and the Sala Reinaldo Barbalho after a visual artist and former director. The AAMAG, a non-profit friends' association, was set up to support and promote the museum.
