They were organized in lines with the most recent pieces towards the front and the older pieces near the back. Because of this set up, the information about each work was on the back which makes you take the work in before knowing anything about it. There was also a good mix of Brazilian artists and more well known "classic" artists. Very cool.

Yelp Review 2025 #166:…read more It's a small museum located inside Pacaembu Stadium focusing on Brazilian futebol culture and history. I went on the first Tuesday of the month which meant admission was free and they don't close till 9pm! Their normal hours are Tuesday to Sunday 9am-5pm. I was honestly expecting this place to be packed especially if you don't have to pay for admission - not that the tickets are expensive. It's 24 Brazilian Reais which is about $4.50, half price for students, low-income youth, seniors, and retirees. Children 7 and under can come in for free. I've been to futbol museums in Spain, Germany, FIFA Museum in Switzerland, etc and this museum seems underwhelming compared to the places I've been to. But remember, this is a museum focusing on Brazilian futebol only. Most, if not all, of the information are in Portuguese. But there are pictures/ graphics that will help you understand what is written. Or just take a picture and translate on your phone. It's visually interesting. It's not just pictures and memorabilia and next to them are labels you have to read and be bored by. You'll see the greatest jogador de futebol brasileiro like Marta and Pele. Nelson Rodrigues, a playwright, was credited for "inventing" Brazilian futebol. But it's Charles Miller who brought futebol to Brazil and considered the "father of Brazilian futebol". The street the stadium/ museum is on was named after him. There's a gift shop where you can get souvenirs like kits, shirts, keychains, toys, scarves, mugs, tumblers, water bottles, soccer balls, etc. The kits include Brazilian teams, Brazilian national team, Germany, Italy, and Portugal. There's a cafe should you need a snack or a drink before/ after your tour of the museum. Make sure you get your ticket online even if you're coming in for free. You walk straight to the turnstiles skipping the ticketing office line.

Throughout the park there are tracks and walkways and there's a nice lake in the center. The only downside, and this is a major disappointment, is that there might be looters and criminals after sunset, so pay attention to your surroundings! Our stroll through the park got us hungry, so we decided to find a nearby restaurant. We stumbled upon this place with nice open seating, so we decided to stay for lunch. It's actually within the park on the southwest corner, but I couldn't find it on Yelp. Jardim Churrascada is the name of the restaurant, and it was my first time trying Brazilian biro-biro rice - their version of fried rice - and it was delicious! It pairs well with any type of meat. With the perfect weather, we had a really lovely brunch. São Paulo is a nice city and has so much potential to become one of the world's top megacities if only the government were less corrupt and were more proactive in developing and fine tuning the city's infrastructures.

Access to the space is very well organised with polite & helpful security personnel at the gates with well informed staff indoors. I was there for the 'Picasso - Savant Hand, Savage Eye' exposition - on the very day it opened, buying tickets online was a breeze and R$ 12 paid was really a steal. I really think that all these galleries should charge in order to maintain the space. The Picasso exposition was well organised with 2 separate spaces showcasing several artworks of Picasso that includes paintings, drawings, sculptures and prints throughout his life. Also there are several photographs of the Spanish Master. To add, there is a film on the 'making of' Picasso's most famous work of art 'Guernica'. The entire space and ambience is really pleasant, there is a sense of calm in the building and although photographs are allowed indoors, it doesn't really hamper the movement of the audience. There are several security personnel close to the art to ensure that you don't really get too close. Also there is a permanent space indoors with artworks by Tomie Ohtake - at the time I went there were 7-8 works of art, I'm not sure whether the artwork changes according to a theme - but for sure its a permanent space dedicated to the patron of the institute. Besides the space for exhibitions, the institute also houses a restaurant, book shop and other spaces for education and lectures. This is a great space and I would return several time for other exhibitions.
