MASP
Brazil
Perched above Paulista Avenue like a vivid red leviathan, the São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP) is an architectural marvel, celebrated for its vast two-storey main body suspended by red-painted concrete and glass beams. Designed by renowned Italian-Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi, this 1968 masterpiece provides a striking contrast to the bustling city below. The 74-metre span that characterises its facade offers a stunning outlook with uninterrupted vistas of the vibrant metropolis. Inside, discover a diverse collection that weaves together European classics and dynamic contemporary art, reflecting Brazil’s rich cultural tapestry and MASP's commitment to melding tradition with modernity.
