Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo DETAILS ARTWORKS Cherished by locals for its broad collection of Brazilian art and its role as the oldest gallery in São Paulo, the Pinacoteca do Estado is one of the city’s most popular cultural attractions. The museum is housed in a 1900 building in Jardim da Luz, Downtown São Paulo, designed by Ramos de Azevedo and Domiziano Rossi to be the headquarters of the Lyceum of Arts and Crafts. It is the oldest art museum in São Paulo, founded on December 24, 1905, and established as a state museum since 1911. After passing through a renovation conducted by Paulo Mendes da Rocha in the 1990s, the museum became one of the most dynamic cultural institutions of the country, lining up with the international circuit of exhibitions, hosting cultural events and keeping an active bibliographic production. Pinacoteca also maintains a branch in Bom Retiro district, called Estação Pinacoteca, where it holds temporary exhibitions and the institution's documentation center. #pina_ #pinacoteca #pinacotecasp #jardimdaluz #ramosdeazevedo #domizianorossi #lyceumofartsandcrafts #paulomendes #paulomendesdarocha #bomretiro #estaçaopinacoteca #art #heritage #architecture #restauration #artflow #contemporaryart #exhibition #exhibitionspace #discourse #interchange (at Pinacoteca de São Paulo) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtAYLIVFpfl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bkqscpn0vgbf
