What to do and see in Ibirapuera, State of Sao Paulo (SP): The Best Museums

June 7, 2021 Malia Yoakum

The largest city in South America, Sao Paulo’s cuisine and art is as multinational as its diverse population of 10 million. With the restaurants of the Jardins district serving every food imaginable to diners from around the world, you wouldn’t be out of place going to Sao Paulo just for the dining. But you’d be missing out on world-class museums, diverse and vibrant neighborhood tours, and crazy-good shopping.

Afro Brazil Museum

Packed with more than 3,000 artifacts from Brazil's five-century history, the Museu Afro Brasil relates how Brazil's history is inextricably tied to the experience of African slaves and their descendants through culture and traditions that have come to define the country. In fact, there are so many statues, photographs, illustrations, masks, dolls, clothes, documents, paintings, furniture, pieces of plantation equipment, installations and mementos, it's almost impossible to take in the whole place in one go. The printed information is almost exclusively in Portuguese, but the museum provides English-speaking guides, and the back stories behind every single object are at once harrowing and hopeful. Hands down, one of the best museums in Latin America.

It's the middle of a warm humid day in Sao Paulo and attendance lines to all the museums are long and visitors are testy. All of the museums except this one, where I am one of a dozen or so travelers. Why? I don't understand... the building itself offers a cool respite from the summer heat; its tall ceilings and design offering a flow of air and easy viewing of an extensive collection of Afro Brasilian artifacts and art. The collection is an approachable history to the story of Brazil from colonization slavery to modern day - through artifacts, art and photography one can follow vibrant, and in the case of the Amazonian natives, endangered cultures. There is a necessary story to understand Brazil... So why aren't you here?
