This cultural institute occupies a striking modern building on São Paulo's Paulista Avenue, opened in 2017 with galleries suspended above a raised public plaza. It is known for its collections of Brazilian photography, music and graphic arts, drawn from a major national archive. The design lifts the exhibition floors high over the street, creating an open ground-level passage and a café with avenue views. Its photography shows and concerts make it a leading stop on the city's busiest boulevard.
