Museum of Art of the Parliament of São Paulo, Contemporary art museum in São Paulo, Brazil
This art museum occupies dedicated exhibition spaces within the Palácio 9 de Julho, housing paintings, sculptures, and photographs by Brazilian artists. The collection encompasses permanent displays as well as rotating exhibitions that change throughout the year.
The legislative assembly established this institution in 2002 to preserve and present works of Brazilian art. Over time, it has grown into an important venue for sharing the country's artistic heritage with the public.
The collection reflects diverse Brazilian artistic movements and brings together works from multiple generations of local artists. Visitors encounter the artistic voices that have shaped the country's visual culture.
Entry is free and guided tours are available through the exhibition spaces to help visitors understand both permanent and rotating collections. Plan enough time to explore the galleries at a relaxed pace and take in the artworks on display.
The museum extends outdoors onto the parliament grounds, where sculptures are displayed in an open-air gallery setting. This integration with the legislative environment creates an unusual pairing of art viewing with the day-to-day workings of government.
