Museum of Art of São Paulo
The Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP), a landmark of the largest Brazilian city, is renowned for its extraordinary collection, gathered since the end of World War II.
Internationally recognized for its diversity and quality, the museum's holdings are considered the most important of Latin America and all the Southern Hemisphere, with thousands of works ranging in period from antiquity to contemporary art.
At the end of the 1940s, Assis Chateaubriand, founder and owner of the largest media and press conglomerate in Brazil, idealized the creation of a museum in innovating patterns, which should work as a dynamic center of cultural diffusion and creation.
With that purpose, he invited Pietro Maria Bardi, an Italian professor and art critic, to help him gather the collection; Bardi would dedicate the rest of his life to the project and moved to Brazil with his wife, the architect Lina Bo Bardi, bringing his private collection of Italian paintings and antiquities.
The museum opened in 1947, displaying the first acquisitions, amongst which canvases by Picasso and Rembrandt.
In the following years, the collection's importance required the construction of a building to headquarter the museum, and the São Paulo City Hall donated a plot of ground, with the condition that the view to the downtown area should be preserved.
In order to meet that condition, Lina Bo Bardi idealized a sustained building, considered to be unique worldwide for its peculiarity: its main body stands on four lateral pillars, generating a free area of 74 meters; it was inaugurated on 1968 by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.
Among the 8000 works of the museum, the collection of European paintings, sculptures, drawings, engravings, and decorative arts stands out.
The French and Italian schools are well represented, forming the main body of the collection, followed by Spanish, Portuguese, Flemish, Dutch, English and German masters.
The museum also keeps a significant collection of Brazilian art and Brasiliana, which witnesses the development of Brazilian art from 17th century to the present days.
In a smaller scale, the museum's holdings contemplate representative objects of many periods and distinct non-Western civilizations (such as African and Asian arts) and others which stand out for their archaeological, historic and artistic relevance, like the collections of Egyptian, Etruscan, Greek and Roman antiquities, besides other artifacts of Pre-Columbian cultures and medieval European art.
