I don't know where to begin. I didn't come to Brazil to go to museums but am I ever glad we found…read morethis one. I'm not an architect but from my laywoman perspective this in an architectural wonder. There's a giant eye! Literally. You have to go up inside it. There's something that is a giant ribbon, like one that the ballerinas swirl as they dance but it's a walkway. Just to stand outside and look at all this was neat. We went back today to actually go inside. As we hovered at the entrance not speaking portugeuse and studying the entrance fees and the hours, one of the staff popped out and handed us passes and pointed us in the right direction. Talk about welcoming! Then...when we got to see inside...well I just say go see for yourself. We might go back again before we leave Curitiba....

I am truly disappointed…read more I grew up in this country where this person is the most famous architect that has many of very important buildings being designed by him, for example the DC is mostly his designs where our politicians go to "work" every day. when I headed to this museum I was hoping to find a full building exploding with information and stories about the architects life childhood, works and many other fun facts. I was so excited that as we walked into the museum I could not contain myself, clicking my camera everywhere and getting out (not so cheap) admission tickets it was all so exciting. once we get in I get a bit annoyed as they dont allow water bottles inside, that made no sense to me at first but I let go. then the museum is not very well mapped here there is no logical sequence to the museum. the main attraction was a "eye" shaped building and there was the promised land. there was an adjacent building that we didn't even understand, we thought we were at the so called eye the whole time, so very confusing floor plan I must say. now the real let down was to walk in and out, flors after floors and seeing nothing about the actual architect that this museum is named after. we saw some not very exiting and of very poor taste art. some abstract and not at all what I hoped to see when I came here. there was one room, not very big, and not even an entire floor about the architect. in 5 minuted I was done in that room. huge let down really. I hoped to see and get to know Oscar and I got out of there furious and confused.
