Brasilia Museum of Art

Museu de Arte de Brasilia

The Brasilia Museum of Art (Museu de Arte de Brasilia) was created in 1985 by the Federal District of Brasilia. The motivation behind building the museum was to ensure preservation of the modern and contemporary art of Brasilia.

The museum itself has 3 levels, each with a countless array of art on display. On the main floor, there's a restaurant and a garden filled with many different beautiful sculptures. Upstairs you find a permanent display of paintings, pictures, photographs, and sculptures. The basement of the building is only for technical use.

The building in which the museum is located was constructed in 1960 by Novacap's architects. Brasilia Museum of Art (MAB) has over 50,000 square feet (4,800 square meters) of constructed area and is located close to Paranoa Lake in the hotel area of the city. The museum is located in between the Acustic Concha and Dawn of Palace (Palacio da Alvorada).

MAB is composed of modern art and contemporary art dated mostly from 1950 to 2001. At the time of writing the Brasilia Museum of Art is open Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 5pm and from 1pm to 5pm on the weekends.
