Museum of Modern Art of Bahia, Modern art museum in Solar do Unhão, Salvador, Brazil.
The Museum of Modern Art of Bahia occupies a 16th-century complex along the Bay of All Saints, featuring eight exhibition rooms displaying Brazilian art collections.
Italian architect Lina Bo Bardi established the museum in 1960 at Castro Alves Theater before relocating it to Solar do Unhão in 1963.
The museum exhibits works from Brazilian artists including Tarsila do Amaral, Portinari, Di Cavalcanti, and maintains a dedicated space for Rubem Valentim pieces.
The museum contains technical facilities for conservation, restoration, and museology, plus art workshops teaching painting, engraving, ceramics, and sculpture techniques.
A wooden staircase designed by Lina Bo Bardi replaced the mansion's second floor, drawing inspiration from the construction of traditional bullock carts.
