Museum of Visual Arts, Art museum in São Luís, Brazil.
The Museum of Visual Arts occupies a three-story 19th-century building with Portuguese ceramic tiles on its facade and multiple exhibition halls.
Founded in 1989, the museum emerged as an extension of the Historical and Artistic Museum of Maranhão to provide dedicated space for fine arts collections.
The museum exhibits works by Maranhão artists alongside national figures such as Tarsila do Amaral, displaying paintings, sculptures, and decorative tiles.
Located on Portugal Street in the Praia Grande district, the museum includes the Nagy Lajos Gallery for temporary exhibitions and the Assis Chateaubriand specialized library.
The building's watchtower provides views of Praia Grande neighborhood, Commerce Square, colonial rooftops, and Bacanga River.
