Recommended museum with a great collection of Brazilian art, both modern and classic. The steady collection is worth visiting, but often there are temporary exhibitions - which vary in quality. Hence 4 out of 5. The museum is situated next to a nice park that contains various interesting statues as well.

O museu em si é incrível, muito bonito e com obras sensacionais. Porém, a insegurança de ir da Estação CPTM Luz até o museu (160m) é enorme. Sem policiamento, lotado de usuários de droga.

The art collection that I saw on view was pretty extensive and with pieces by great painters. I enjoyed going through the marvelous collections.

Not much of an art museum person and this one didn't stand out as anything special. Do walk around the gardens outside. Those are free for everyone.
