Overview
MASP is Brazil's premier art museum on Paulista Avenue and holds the most extensive European art collection in the Southern Hemisphere. The collection includes masterpieces by Raphael, Rembrandt, Monet, Renoir, and Van Gogh, displayed on signature glass easels. Designed by Lina Bo Bardi, the building appears to float above eight red columns, making the architecture itself a work of art. The open plaza beneath the museum hosts antique markets and cultural events.
