Museu Afro Brasil

Located within Ibirapuera Park in a pavilion designed by Oscar Niemeyer, this museum documents the history, memory, and artistic contributions of Africans and Afro-Brazilians. Its extensive collection ranges across sculpture, textiles, religious objects, photography, and contemporary art, addressing slavery, resistance, and cultural heritage. Galleries confront the legacy of the trade in enslaved people while celebrating African-derived traditions woven into Brazilian identity.
