Museum of Popular Arts of Paraíba, Popular arts museum in Campina Grande, Brazil

The Museum of Popular Arts of Paraíba (MAPP) is a complex of three suspended cylindrical glass buildings linked by a platform on the edge of the Açude Velho in Campina Grande. Designed by Oscar Niemeyer, it covers 972 square metres, with 25 metres built over the water. Each of the three circular halls is devoted to a genre: music, handicrafts, and cordel literature with woodcut prints.

The museum was inaugurated on 13 December 2012, with construction completed that month under the management of the State University of Paraíba (UEPB), and it opened to public visitation on 10 June 2014. It is the last contemporary building finalized and signed in his lifetime by architect Oscar Niemeyer. The structural engineer was José Benício da Silva Filho, a former civil engineering professor at the Federal University of Paraíba, Campina Grande campus.

The museum's nickname, "Museum of the Three Pandeiros," comes from the circular shape of its three exhibition rooms, which resemble the tambourines played in forró. Each room is dedicated to a different field: music, handicrafts, and cordel literature with woodcut prints. The music room honors Jackson do Pandeiro with photos, objects, and audiovisual material, and panels list more than 300 Paraíba artists.

The museum stands on a square on the edge of the Açude Velho, with its three glazed cylinders linked by a platform; the design keeps views of the water open from the shore. It is run by the State University of Paraíba (UEPB), which uses it for courses, meetings and publications as well as exhibitions. The building covers 972 square metres, 25 of them over the reservoir's water.

The museum's nickname, "Museum of the Three Pandeiros", comes from the circular shape of its three exhibition rooms, which recall the tambourine-like pandeiro. The music room holds 5,000 catalogued songs, 420 of them by Jackson do Pandeiro, available for listening in a multimedia space. The engineer responsible for the structural project was José Benício da Silva Filho.
