Museum of Art of São Paulo or as it is known, MASP, is an art museum located in Paulista Avenue in the city of São Paulo. The museum itself is a glamorous work of art; the building's main body an imposing Modernist box suspended under two bright red lateral beams over a two hundred forty-three ft. free space. The concrete and glass structure was idealized by the journalist Assis Chateaubriand and designed by Lina Bo Bardi in 1968. The place is considered a landmark in the city and the glowing symbol of modern Brazilian architecture along with its pioneering role as a cultural centre. It was the first Brazilian museum interested in Post-World War II art. The museum's collection of European art is considered the finest in Latin America and all Southern Hemisphere which includes works of Gainsborough, Gauguin, Goya, etc. The museum also houses one of the largest assemblages of Brazilian and other South American Artist's work. The entire collection in the museum is part of the Brazilian National Heritage list.
The easiest way to reach the place is by the metro. Take the blue line metro and get down in Paraiso. Take the green line from there and reach the Trianon-MASP station. You may book a cab for a less confusing commute which will take approx 30 minutes from Nove de Julho.
