MASP
MASP was founded in 1947 by entrepreneur Assis Chateaubriand and in 1968 it was relocated to its current address at Avenida Paulista. Designed by Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi, the building is a sort of suspended glass-windowed ark, supported by columns. Underneath it, there is a square where the public is welcomed and encouraged to use the museum space as a place for leisure.
