OPTIONS WITH 4 AND 6 HOURS
4 hours tour option:
In this tour, we suggest a visit to some places that features a variety of Brazil’s most remarkable contemporary art styles, broadly found on the streets, galleries, museums and even at the slum areas of São Paulo. The tour begins with a visit to one of the best-known art galleries that hosts exclusive works made by renowned national artists. After that, we will see some murals shown in an open-air area of the Batman Alley and Apprentice Alley, unique urban passages lined with beautiful graffiti. Then, the visitor will go to the Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC), rising to its terrace, which offers an incredible view of the Ibirapuera Park area.
Visiting stops: Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC – Ibirapuera), Art Gallery and Graffiti in Vila Madalena.
Additional sites included in the 6-hour tour:
Optionally, visitors will be taken to a very unusual and surprising place of the city: The Casa de Pedra (the Stone House), built by Mestre Estevão, considered the “Brazilian Gaudi”. This nickname is due to his ingenious architectural work made with mosaics, recycled articles and souvenirs, attached to structures composed by cement and iron wires, which were raised inside his own house, located in the middle of Paraisópolis, the largest slum of São Paulo.
Visiting stops: Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC – Ibirapuera), an iconic art gallery, graffiti in Vila Madalena and the Casa de Pedra.
