São Paulo - Parque do Ibirapuera: Museu Afro Brasil

            Museu Afro Brasil, housed in Pavilhão Manoel da Nóbrega near Portão 10 of Parque do Ibirapuera, opened in 2004 and features over 3,000 works which highlight cultural achievements of Africans in Brazil, both those brought as slaves and their descendants.  The collection at Museu Afro Brasil represents six great themes: Africa, Work and Slavery, Sacred and Profane, Afro-Brazilian Religions, History and Memory, and Art.  The actual building predates the museum, and was designed by Oscar Niemeyer and opened in 1953, in advance of the formal opening of Parque Ibirapuera.

Parque do Ibirapuera (Ibirapuera Park), a 400-acre, 2 square-kilometer urban oasis, opened to the public on August 21, 1954, for São Paulo's 400th anniversary.  The park was designed by Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, with buildings designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.    During high season, over 130,000 visitors enjoy the park's lakes, fountains, monuments, playgrounds and walking trails on a daily basis.   

Parque Ibirapuera is also home to Pavilhão Manoel da Nóbrega Pavilion which houses Museu Afro Brasil, the Grande Marquise which houses Museu de Arte Moderna (MAM), Planetario do Ibirapuera, Auditório Ibirapuera, Oca do Ibirapuera, Ginasio do Ibirapuera, and the Cicillo Matarazzo Pavilion which houses  the Museu de Arte Contemporânea da Universidade de São Paulo and events including the São Paulo Art Biennial and the São Paulo Fashion Week.
