Top Things to do in Sé
Top 10 Specialty Museums in Sé, State of Sao Paulo (SP)
The largest city in South America, Sao Paulo’s cuisine and art is as multinational as its diverse population of 10 million. With the restaurants of the Jardins district serving every food imaginable to diners from around the world, you wouldn’t be out of place going to Sao Paulo just for the dining. But you’d be missing out on world-class museums, diverse and vibrant neighborhood tours, and crazy-good shopping.

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.

Besides telling the history of Brazilian football, the Football Museum, located at Pacaembu Stadium, in São Paulo – foretells Brazil's history. In a playful, fun and very motion way, our visitor is going to understand the reason why football is within all of us. The museum has its visitation routine based on three pillars: emotion, history and on having fun. Pictures, videos, audios and interactivity are the formula that is enthralling visitors. One of the means by narrating such happenings is right from videos, pictures and so on sensorial experiences.

I have been here 7 or 8 times, virtually every time I am in Sao Paulo. My boys love it here. Different sections from traditional to modern, some interactive stuff for the kids, many videos from all World Cups and from the Brazilian superstars of football (Pele, Ronaldo, Garrincha etc.). The museum is in the Arena Pacaembu, a beautiful, old stadium in the middle of the city. There is a museum shop which has the best collection of retro-football-shirts from all over the world which I have seen so far.

One of the city's many cultural foundations backed by a major Brazilian bank, downtown's CAIXA Cultural offers a rotating mix of international and Brazilian photo and art exhibitions, film retrospectives, concerts and theatrical performances that are always impactful and always free. Recent exhibitions have included French journalist Philippe Castetbon's “The Condemned,” a poignant photography presentation of gay men from countries where their sexuality could mean jail or even death, and the colorfully geometric “visually poetic” works of visual artist Almandrade, from the northeastern state of Bahia.

Saw some recommendations here and there, and they were right. I went there with little knowledge but left with much, a bit emotional. Definitely a must see.
