Access to the space is very well organised with polite & helpful security personnel at the gates with well informed staff indoors. I was there for the 'Picasso - Savant Hand, Savage Eye' exposition - on the very day it opened, buying tickets online was a breeze and R$ 12 paid was really a steal. I really think that all these galleries should charge in order to maintain the space. The Picasso exposition was well organised with 2 separate spaces showcasing several artworks of Picasso that includes paintings, drawings, sculptures and prints throughout his life. Also there are several photographs of the Spanish Master. To add, there is a film on the 'making of' Picasso's most famous work of art 'Guernica'. The entire space and ambience is really pleasant, there is a sense of calm in the building and although photographs are allowed indoors, it doesn't really hamper the movement of the audience. There are several security personnel close to the art to ensure that you don't really get too close. Also there is a permanent space indoors with artworks by Tomie Ohtake - at the time I went there were 7-8 works of art, I'm not sure whether the artwork changes according to a theme - but for sure its a permanent space dedicated to the patron of the institute. Besides the space for exhibitions, the institute also houses a restaurant, book shop and other spaces for education and lectures. This is a great space and I would return several time for other exhibitions.
