Ol\u00e1, galera! Hey, everyone!<\/span><\/p>\n

The dazzling <\/span>cidade<\/span><\/i> (city) of S\u00e3o Paulo is Brazil\u2019s wealthiest, largest and most populous metropole. As such, a lot can be expected from its major museum, the S\u00e3o Paulo Art Museum (<\/span>Museu de Arte de S\u00e3o Paulo), also <\/span>conhecido <\/span><\/i>(known) as MASP. MASP is a leading Brazilian cultural institution and an icon of the capital.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A landmark in S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s cityscape, the building is located on Paulista avenue, an important hub that, in addition to being a political and economic center of the city, is also a thriving area for shops, schools, restaurants, coffee shops, bus lines, subway stops, skyscrapers, banks and a main spot for demonstrations, parades and political protests, <\/span><\/p>\n

The institution was founded in 1947 by public figure, journalist, entrepreneur and media mogul – in the likes of a Brazilian Citizen Kane – Assis Chateaubriand, who acquired a large number of art pieces largely due to the fact that he was able to <\/span>comprar<\/span><\/i> (purchase) them for a reasonable <\/span>pre\u00e7o<\/span><\/i> (price) after World War II.<\/span><\/p>\n

A fine collection of European, Asian, African and national art including paintings, sketches, <\/span>drawings, etchings, sculptures and photographs<\/span> amount to over <\/span>oito mil <\/span><\/i>(8000) pieces in the museum. Artists like Picasso, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Renoir, Gauguin, <\/span>Monet, <\/span>C\u00e9zanne, comprising various artistic movements and tendencies across centuries, are part of the diverse holdings of MASP, which accounts for its international recognition, besides being the most visited museum <\/span>no pa\u00eds <\/span><\/i>(in the country) and o maior<\/em> (the largest) in Latin America.<\/span><\/p>\n

What particularly stands out in the current headquarters of <\/span>MASP <\/b>is its \u00a0modern and\u00a0<\/span>unique architecture, <\/span>inaugurated in the <\/span>ano<\/span><\/i> (year) of 1968, with the presence of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.<\/span> Projected by Italian architect Lina Bo Bardi – wife of <\/span>art dealer and critic Pietro Maria Bardi a longtime MASP director, curator and personal friend of Assis Chateaubriand – <\/span>the bold and innovative construction consists of a structure <\/span>feita de<\/span><\/i> (made of) glass and concrete, suspended by two bright red lateral columns, whose<\/span> empty space between<\/span> o ch\u00e3o<\/span><\/i> (the ground) and <\/span>o pr\u00e9dio<\/span><\/i> (the building) <\/span>offers an unobstructed view of the city and where many cultural and public events are held.\u00a0It took dez anos<\/i> (ten years) to be concluded and it is registered as a part of Brazil\u2019s national heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n

MASP <\/b>is now<\/span> a celebrated meeting point for artists, students, teachers and a tourist destination for its <\/span>several points of interest. Aside from its <\/span>galeries, shop, restaurants and auditoriums that draw the public\u2019s attention, the museum also has an educational program with a number of<\/span> didactic acitivities such as lectures, debates, workshops and courses. <\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you feel like visiting for its large collection of art or if you just want to appreciate its <\/span>modernist design, MASP<\/strong> is part of our history and you should\u2019t forget to drop by when in S\u00e3o Paulo!<\/span><\/p>\n
