Design Museum

If you happen to be in São Paulo, don’t miss the opportunity to visit the Museu da Casa Brasileira, or just MCB (Brazilian House Museum). There, you will certainly find a good exhibition. In their fixed collection, you can find furniture pieces from the XVII to the XX centuries. The Museum also presents temporary shows of contemporary objects and accessories from Brazil and around the world.

Some of the pieces of the Museum's fixed collection:

"Mole" Chair - Designed by Sérgio Rodrigues, 1957

Additionally, the Museum promotes debates, courses and lectures about themes related to art, architecture and design. But, if you're just looking for a place to have lunch and want to try the Brazilian cuisine, it's an excuse too.
