They were organized in lines with the most recent pieces towards the front and the older pieces near the back. Because of this set up, the information about each work was on the back which makes you take the work in before knowing anything about it. There was also a good mix of Brazilian artists and more well known "classic" artists. Very cool.

Occupying only one floor, and thus only requiring thirty minutes max, it is unfortunately in curating that the museum falls short ass several items are clustered together and subject to poor lighting. Fans of Modern or 'experimental' work should stop by, while those prioritizing their Sao Paulo schedule can probably take a pass.

Yelp Review 2025 #166:…read more It's a small museum located inside Pacaembu Stadium focusing on Brazilian futebol culture and history. I went on the first Tuesday of the month which meant admission was free and they don't close till 9pm! Their normal hours are Tuesday to Sunday 9am-5pm. I was honestly expecting this place to be packed especially if you don't have to pay for admission - not that the tickets are expensive. It's 24 Brazilian Reais which is about $4.50, half price for students, low-income youth, seniors, and retirees. Children 7 and under can come in for free. I've been to futbol museums in Spain, Germany, FIFA Museum in Switzerland, etc and this museum seems underwhelming compared to the places I've been to. But remember, this is a museum focusing on Brazilian futebol only. Most, if not all, of the information are in Portuguese. But there are pictures/ graphics that will help you understand what is written. Or just take a picture and translate on your phone. It's visually interesting. It's not just pictures and memorabilia and next to them are labels you have to read and be bored by. You'll see the greatest jogador de futebol brasileiro like Marta and Pele. Nelson Rodrigues, a playwright, was credited for "inventing" Brazilian futebol. But it's Charles Miller who brought futebol to Brazil and considered the "father of Brazilian futebol". The street the stadium/ museum is on was named after him. There's a gift shop where you can get souvenirs like kits, shirts, keychains, toys, scarves, mugs, tumblers, water bottles, soccer balls, etc. The kits include Brazilian teams, Brazilian national team, Germany, Italy, and Portugal. There's a cafe should you need a snack or a drink before/ after your tour of the museum. Make sure you get your ticket online even if you're coming in for free. You walk straight to the turnstiles skipping the ticketing office line.

I came here for the first time for the Hitchcock Expo, which was truly amazing. It was so well done, incredibly well-organized, and I thought it was a great value for the price. I came here a few weeks later for a showing of The Shining with a live band and that was a really crazy unique experience as well. I'd never been to a movie showing with a live band before and it was so intense, especially in a movie like The Shining. I recommend the MIS to everyone. Check out their website and see what special events are happening and make sure you go to at least one of them! There was a little market in the front courtyard of the museum when I went for The Shining and they were selling lots of artesanal foods and crafts. Eu amo esse museu! Vim aqui pela primeira vez quando teve a exposição do Hitchcock. Foi muito legal. Super bem organizado e não foi caro. Eu me diverti muito. Algumas semanas depois, eu voltei aqui pra assistir o filme The Shining com a banda tocando músicas ao vivo. Foi uma experiência única! Tomei muitos sustos.

Throughout the park there are tracks and walkways and there's a nice lake in the center. The only downside, and this is a major disappointment, is that there might be looters and criminals after sunset, so pay attention to your surroundings! Our stroll through the park got us hungry, so we decided to find a nearby restaurant. We stumbled upon this place with nice open seating, so we decided to stay for lunch. It's actually within the park on the southwest corner, but I couldn't find it on Yelp. Jardim Churrascada is the name of the restaurant, and it was my first time trying Brazilian biro-biro rice - their version of fried rice - and it was delicious! It pairs well with any type of meat. With the perfect weather, we had a really lovely brunch. São Paulo is a nice city and has so much potential to become one of the world's top megacities if only the government were less corrupt and were more proactive in developing and fine tuning the city's infrastructures.
