Local before arrival
São Paulo is Brazil’s art capital, and its center is the Museu de Arte de São Paulo. Located on the central traffic artery, Avenida Paulista, it’s visible from far: The red ashlars on concrete stilts bring together artworks from Brazil and the rest of the world, including pieces by everyone from El Greco to Monet. All exhibits and openings in the city are advertised here. Art lovers should head here first. On Sundays, a relaxed antique market takes place around the museum.
