São Paulo, Brazil
Pinacoteca de São Paulo
Brazil's oldest art museum, gutted and rebuilt by Paulo Mendes da Rocha.
The 1900 building was stripped to its brick and roofed in glass, creating light-filled halls for Brazilian art from the nineteenth century to now. Next door, a former prison houses a memorial to resistance.
Opening hours and prices change regularly — always check the museum’s own site before you travel.
