Pinacoteca do Estado

The building of Pinacoteca do Estado (State Art Gallery) was designed by Ramos de Azevedo in 1897 to be home to Liceu de Artes e Ofícios (School of Arts and Crafts).

With its collection of approximately 4,000 pieces, the museum is very important, specially for São Paulo, since it gathers works of art by artists born in the city, such as Almeida Júnior, Pedro Alexandrino and Oscar Pereira da Silva, aside from representative works of art by Cândido Portinari, Anita Mafaldi, Victor Brecheret, Tarsila do Amaral and Di Cavalcanti.
