Museu de Arte de Brasília, Modern art museum in Plano Piloto, Brazil
The Museu de Arte de Brasília is a modern art museum in the city's planned core, housing paintings, sculptures, photographs, and installations. The collection brings together works from different decades that offer insight into Brazilian artistic creation.
The museum was established as part of Brasília's development as a planned capital to support the nation's art scene. After major renovations, it reopened to visitors with renewed purpose and facilities.
The museum displays works by Brazilian artists across different creative movements, allowing visitors to see how the country's artistic expression evolved. The pieces on display reflect the varied ways artists approached their subjects and techniques throughout different periods.
The museum is open to visitors on weekdays and Sunday during regular daytime hours, closed on Tuesdays. Public transportation and parking are available, making it accessible for those traveling by car or bus.
The building itself is a work of modern architecture, designed as part of Brasília's vision for a contemporary capital. Its forms and integration into the urban landscape make it much more than just a container for artworks.
