Museu Brasileiro da Escultura

Museu Brasileiro da Escultura is an art museum with a semi-underground building set within extensive gardens in São Paulo. The structure contains three exhibition halls designed for displaying three-dimensional works of art.

The museum opened in 1995 after community efforts stopped a shopping center project from being built on the site. Local supporters worked to preserve the land and the city eventually granted it to an organization to establish this institution.

The museum is dedicated to three-dimensional art and displays sculptures from Brazilian and international creators. These works sit in outdoor spaces where nature and art conversation with each other throughout the year.

The museum sits in a quiet residential area and is accessible on foot from nearby streets. Comfortable shoes are recommended since the gardens and multiple levels require walking on varied ground and through different elevation changes.

The gardens were designed by Roberto Burle Marx, a leading landscape architect who shaped the outdoor space to integrate sculptures with plants and water features. This deliberate connection between art and nature makes the external areas function as an extension of the exhibition itself.
