"There are museums of a staggering scale, like the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP)—Brazil’s first modern art museum when it opened in 1947—that’s soon to become even bigger with a 14-story extension; just blocks away, a brand-new Soho House will be the club’s first outpost in South America."
"MASP, the city’s best art gallery, is located in the middle of the bustling Avenida Paulista. Showcasing work by artists from all around the world, this museum is loved by Paulistanos and tourists alike. The permanent collection, which includes pieces by Van Gogh and Velázquez, is on the top floor, while the bottom floor hosts temporary exhibitions. Admission fee is $9 ($5 for students and those over the age of 60). Entry is free on Tuesdays." - MATADOR_NETWORK
