O São Paulo Art Museum (MASP) Inaugurated this Friday (28) its new building, the Pietro Maria Bardi building, located on Paulista Avenue. The new structure significantly expands the museum’s exhibition space, bending its useful area and providing more cultural options to visitors.
The Pietro Maria Bardi building, neighboring MASP’s historic headquarters (now called Lina Bobardi building), is designed to complement and expand the museum’s abilities. With six floors dedicated to exhibitions, the new building offers a comprehensive course on the history of the MASP, exploring its trajectory since the foundation.
New exhibitions and experiences
The new space houses five distinct exhibitions, each occupying a floor of the building. Among the highlights are:
The connection between the two buildings was carefully planned. The height of the new building corresponds to the length of the free gap of the original building, reinforcing the unit of the set.
In addition, the inauguration of an underground connection between the museums by the end of the year is expected, allowing visitors to a continuous and integrated experience.
Cultural and tourist impact
With a collection of over 10,000 pieces, MASP is already recognized as one of the most important museums in Latin America. The expansion promises to attract even more visitors, both local and international tourists, reinforcing the role of the museum as a cultural icon of São Paulo and Brazil.
The news has aroused great interest from the public. Visitors and passers -by on Paulista Avenue express curiosity and high expectations to know the new space.
Cultural professionals, such as museologists, highlight the importance of expansion to properly accommodate the vast collection of the museum.
With the expansion, MASP reaffirms its commitment to providing an increasingly rich and diverse cultural experience, consolidating its position as one of the main artistic destinations in Brazil and Latin America.
To visit both buildings in the museum, tickets are available from R $ 35 and can be purchased at.
