Introduction to MASP

MASP, the São Paulo Museum of Art, stands on Paulista Avenue in the Bela Vista district. Its iconic building, instantly recognizable for its dramatic suspended span, is part of the city’s best-known skyline. The museum holds a central place in São Paulo’s cultural life.

The museum brings together a diverse art collection that creates a dialogue between European, Brazilian, and other works of art. The way the pieces are displayed, along with the layout of the spaces, offers a broad view of art history, with special attention to the relationships between works and how they are presented.

Inside, visitors will find galleries designed for both permanent and temporary exhibitions, in a setting that highlights movement around the artworks. MASP is also closely associated with its auditorium and cultural activities, which reinforce its role as one of São Paulo’s major museums.

Located at 1578 Paulista Avenue, MASP is one of the most recognizable landmarks in São Paulo. Its architecture and museum mission make it a meeting point between urban modernity and artistic heritage, in the heart of a busy metropolitan thoroughfare.
