Pinacoteca do Estado Review

The building that houses the State Art Gallery was constructed in 1905 and renovated in 1998. The permanent collection has more than 5,000 works of art, including more than 10 Rodin sculptures and several pieces by famous Brazilian artists like Tarsila do Amaral (whose work consists of colorful, somewhat abstract portraits) and Cândido Portinari (whose oil paintings have social and historical themes). The building has a restaurant.
