I really liked the set up of this museum. As opposed to…read morehaving artwork hanging on the wall, they were in clear glass cases in the middle of a huge room. 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.

You have to look at the piece of art first then you have to go around the back to read about it. The display did not make any sense. Some of the art presented in the museum. It's interesting. They do have a lot of European pieces. However, the art display is not meeting expectations of a nice art museum.

You will walk through a security metal detector right before you are let inside the main entryway of the interior. I traveled from Pinheiros - I took the metro from Faria Lima station to Luz station. A one-way ticket for the metro should be R$4,30. There is a huge park across from Luz station where I walked through and explored a bit before locating Pinacoteca. Pinacoteca had some of my favorite exhibits on display when I was there. I kind of felt like I was in an NYC museum. Yes, there were a good amount of people inside, but it was not overly crowded and there were plenty of areas to disperse to if you prefer to see things with few people to no one around. I did have a hard time trying to figure out where the real exit was though, haha. I went so many different ways that seemed to lead to a dead-end (emergency exit door that I was afraid to try to open in case an alarm would sound). There is a cafe at the bottom floor by the main exit once you do find it. The line was pretty much by the door. I took a peek inside and it appeared like a buffet almost but I could be wrong. Must have been good cause they were crowded. I remember walking by the outdoor dining area on way to the entrance of the museum from the park and it looked busy. There is a small museum store outside with colorful umbrellas, tote bags, books, shirts, and other merchandise. The museum is also multi-level - elevator accessible as well as stairways on every corner I think (or at least on two opposite ends of the building). Ubers can pick you up / drop you off from the street side that faces the front of the museum.

A couple nice details were the perfectly pickled vegetable and that our sparkling water that was served in small, reusable, glass carafes -- a welcome change from all the single-use plastic. We were pleasantly surprised to find everything else that Japan House has to offer. Next to the restaurant is a seasonal exhibit which was, when we visited, about Japanese ingredients. While it was neat to see the foods I'd eaten a million times in their component forms, what really stood out was the layout of the exhibit, lighting, aesthetic, and everything else that made it pleasant in addition to being informative. We also wandered around to see textiles and ceramics for sale, and settled into a cozy little area with lots of books on many different aspects of Japanese art and other culture, there for the browsing. It's easily a place I could spend hours of enjoyment. ---------- Almoçamos no Aizomê, que tinha sushi e udon incríveis, picles de vegetais variados e água com gás, servidos em garrafas de vidro reutilizáveis ​​em vez de plástico. Meu chirashi estava excelente e do tamanho perfeito para o almoço. Mas o Japan House tinha muito mais do que o restaurante. Ao lado do restaurante, havia uma exposição sazonal sobre ingredientes japoneses com uma estética relaxante. No andar de baixo, teria tecidos e cerâmicas à venda, além de livros de arte e cultura japonesa para ler. Eu poderia passar horas e horas lá, feliz da vida.

Our favorite were the really nice bathrooms that have different settings on the toilets heehee, and overall it has a very nice minimalist interior and exterior design.
