The building's forefront plus the artpieces located outside or on it are already worth the visit. On top of them, when walking into the room, you'll see a beautiful chandelier and some cool artworks. Even though the exhibits are temporary, they are always nice and the entrance fee is low and fair, so you won't be disappointed!

It's an architecture masterpiece (some people may disagree), designed by the genius Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. Host of São Paulo Fashion Week and São Paulo's Biennale, among other important museums such as Oca, it's a delighted place if you want a bit of art and culture, practice sports or just take a break and relax on the green grass.

The mixture of architecture styles is breathtaking.

It is an interesting way to learn more about Brazilian culture and how we are portrayed by outsiders and Brazilians. In their collection there are many paintings made by foreigners portraying how they saw our country in our early days (when we were a colony), which contrasts to the Brazilian modern art pieces.

It's a very special time of the year to visit Brazil. Seeing it from a different perspective, in a city that is not by the cost, will show you another side of the national festival. Besides that, just in case you hate it or just want to take a break from samba, you'll have all the other cultural and party options in town.

Why not start your trip around São Paulo where the city itself started? Pateo do Collegio is very well preserved and is one of the only flat and old-style architecture buildings amongst all the famous skyscrapers.
