Museum of Art of the Parliament of São Paulo, art museum in São Paulo, Brazil

The Museum of Art of the Parliament of São Paulo occupies rooms throughout the Palácio 9 de Julho, the Legislative Assembly building facing Ibirapuera Park. Its collection of over 1,200 works (2012) covers paintings, sculpture, prints, ceramics and photographs, arranged by theme, style and genre in the palace's halls. Artists represented include Francisco Rebolo, Romero Britto, Gustavo Rosa, Katsunori Nishio and Sergio Valle Duarte.

The museum was founded in 2002 and is run by the Department of Artistic Heritage of the Legislative Assembly of São Paulo, housed in the Palácio 9 de Julho opposite Ibirapuera Park. From its foundation until 2012 its coordination was entrusted to Emanuel von Lauenstein Massarani, a historian, journalist and diplomat who headed the state's cultural heritage bodies. The collection grew from works donated by artists after exhibitions held in the parliament.

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.

The museum occupies rooms inside the Palácio 9 de Julho, the Legislative Assembly building facing Ibirapuera Park in the city's south. Works are arranged by theme, style and genre across the various rooms, and part of the collection stands outdoors on the parliament grounds. The sources give no opening hours, entry conditions or tour arrangements, so confirm these with the Assembly before visiting.

The open-air sculpture collection, the Museu da Escultura ao Ar Livre, is counted within the museum's holdings, which reached over 1,200 works by 2012. The pieces sit on the grounds of the Palácio 9 de Julho, the Legislative Assembly building facing Ibirapuera Park, so the collection runs from the exhibition rooms out into the open air.
