Pinacoteca de São Bernardo do Campo, Art museum in São Bernardo do Campo, Brazil
The Pinacoteca is an art museum in Sao Bernardo do Campo with four exhibition spaces and a sculpture garden. The collection features approximately 1,500 works created by around 575 national and international artists.
The Pinacoteca was created by law in 1975 under Mayor Geraldo Faria, with João Delijaicov Filho as curator since its opening. The collection had been assembled since the late 1960s, and Mayor Tito Costa inaugurated the museum in 1980 with works by Tomie Ohtake, Waldomiro de Deus and Wesley Duke Lee. Between 1983 and 1987, under Mayor Aron Galante, it held 121 exhibitions with 292 artists across 18 spaces.
The institution regularly features works by both established and emerging contemporary artists in its rotating displays. A specialized art library invites visitors to explore deeper connections with the works on view.
The museum is located in the Jardim do Mar district and opens Tuesday through Friday. Admission is free, allowing visitors to explore both the interior galleries and outdoor spaces at their own pace.
The museum sits inside the Cidade da Criança amusement park area on Rua Kara, 105, in Jardim do Mar. Curator João Delijaicov Filho has led the institution since its opening and oversaw its moves between Assunção, Centro and Baeta Neves before this site.
