Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP)

Fodor's Review:

One of the city's premier fine-arts collections, with more than 7,000 pieces, is in this striking low-rise, elevated on two massive concrete pillars 256 feet apart. Highlights of the collection are works by Van Gogh, Renoir, Delacroix, Cézanne, Monet, Rembrandt, Picasso, and Degas. Baroque sculptor Aleijadinho, expressionist painter Lasar Segall, and expressionist/surrealist painter Cândido Portinari are three of the many Brazilian artists represented. The huge open area beneath the museum is often used for cultural events and is the site of a charming Sunday antiques fair.
