São Paulo Museum of Modern Art, Art museum in Moema District, São Paulo, Brazil.

The São Paulo Museum of Modern Art contains more than 4,000 works displayed across multiple exhibition spaces within Ibirapuera Park's landscaped grounds.

Founded in 1948 by Francisco Matarazzo Sobrinho and Yolanda Penteado, the museum was established following the model of New York's Museum of Modern Art.

The collection features works by influential artists including Anita Malfatti, Joan Miró, Marc Chagall, and Pablo Picasso, representing various modern art movements.

Visitors can access the museum Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with free admission every Tuesday and the first Thursday of each month.
