Museu de Arte de Sao Paulo Assis Chateaubriand - MASP

Loved the approach in the permanent art exhibition on the second floor: art works placed at eye level in glass which helps you get to the paintings up close and personal. Glass effect makes the works float in the air. A quick tour from medieval to contemporary art with some of the most known works by the masters.

Fantastic museum. Great exhibits. European Masters and Brazilian painters together. Very neat way to show paintings- crystal easel. Had great temporary exhibit on afro American centric theme. Well done. Great restaurant in level -2. Dont be scared by homeless on ground floor or look of building. Definitely go!

The actual exhibition brings a variety of renowned painters from across the periods. They are separated by time in history and you can see great names like Van Gogh, Picasso, Renoir, Rembrandt, Degas among many others. The only thing I didn't like it was the tag, which they put behind every master piece.

It feels so empty nowadays. I miss seeing good collections on display here. Now it seems to be more about attracting people of a particular political inclination rather than having good art to behold.

A beautiful museum that is a visit worthy in itself (by modernist architect Lina Bo Bardi). But the collection stole the show with impressive pieces from all periods. Interesting exhibition, and nice facilities troughout. Will return if I am ever in Brazil again

The remarkable top level takes you on a journey through time with an introduction to a Greek marble, then over the course of the next couple of thousand years, you get to observe the peaks of artistic flair across the world. Notably, within the last century, how basic expression has come in more contemporary pieces. It’s a nice contrast to observe and encourages thought about the impact of world war, globalisation, religion and technology on the subject matter and skilful creation of pieces.

Interesting place this. The way they hang the paintings is unique for me, mounted on glass pillars they almost appear to be floating in front of you. Also the proximity with which you can approach the paints, masterpieces or not allows another sensory experience of closeness that you might not get in other art museums. Perfect location on Avenida Paulista, very accessible by public transport (metro, bus etc.) and other sites with seeing are closeby too. Bars and restaurants are never too far away either.

Not worth the entry. Only 1 floor open when I visited,and was told at the booth that entry is not free this evening,when in fact it is. A con. Plus the exhibition held some rather interesting pieces,albeit from some big names. A lot of money for less than an hour's viewing.

This museum is really worth a visit. It is over 2 floors. There are lots of paintings here and sculptures. The paintings are spread out over a number of years. The newer paintings at the back of a very large room . It is so easy to get too also . Just on the main st in a cool looking building

Went on Tuesday which is free. Building itself is piece of art. Enjoy the atmosphere with interesting pieces. Also a good café inside.

After living in Brazil for ten plus years. I would frequent this museum. Excellent collections.

Modern art Expositions seem a bit dated. Have seen much more impacting stuff elsewhere in SP

The top floor has an interesting display of the museum's collection. It's counter intuitive to have to walk around the paintings to read their info, though.

Free on tuesday! Incredible paintings of Picasso, Van Gogh, Degas, Portinari, Toulouse-Lautrec, Gaugin, Modigliani, Rafaello, Tiziano, Renoir, Matisse, etc.

Architecture...

Best museum!

Amazing!!!!

Lovely new exhibits!

There are two sub-basements that are part of the museum. Don't miss that part.

Simply amazing!
