It's worth a visit: interesting pieces of art, cafeteria and a good bunch of helpful volunteers that will guide you through the exhibits. Just as a suggestion: avoid the park located just behind the building itself, as you may find some of the characters (homeless and drug addicts) a little bit intimidating.

The collection here is quite small and you can thoroughly check out everything in an hour or less.Many of the pieces are very unusual and very interesting.For example, there is a graphic, gory statue of Christ on the cross , a sizeable collection of silver artifacts including a big staff and a crown plus some very well exucuted paintings in a sort of naive/ folk style.When viewing these pieces it very quickly becomes apparent that they are not just art for art's sake; they are at least partly meant to bring stories from the bible alive and to inspire people , and , whether or not you are religious , they are undeniably very well designed for this purpose.In a way, this museum , its contents and its grounds , are a sort of lesson in the history of Sao Paulo and Brazil.A peaceful oasis in the megalopolis.
5. Municipal Market of Sao Paulo
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 22,931 reviews
Housed in a stunning example of eclectic industrial architecture, the Mercado Municipal de São Paulo — nicknamed the Mercadão — has thousands of food items on offer, literally from soup to nuts. Lush tropical and temperate fruits from every season, choice cuts of meats and fish, and hearty prepared foods,such as the renowned and enormous mortadella (bologna) sandwich, complete the market's catalog of wares, all for sale in a boisterous, welcoming atmosphere. The surrounding area can be a bit sketchy, but the sights and flavors more than make up for the journey downtown.
