Excellent
I have visited the Pinacoteca already several times, and it is always extremely interesting as they often change their exhibitions. They have a good mix of local artists and international artists as well. The building is very nice and the way they present the art is very good. Definitely an excellent museum, a must visit during your stay in São Paulo.!
