Itinerary

1. Located in a 35 thousand m² wooded area, the museum brings together a set of 85 works made of bronze, white cement and granite by the artist Felícia Leirner, distributed in the open air, on the garden of the space shared with the Claudio Santoro Auditorium, home of the International Winter Festival. The works shown in the garden follow the artist’s criteria, the sculptures are grouped according to the phases of Felícia’s trajectory: figurative (1950-1958), on the way to abstraction (1958-1961), abstract (1963-1965), organic (1966-1970) and landscape clippings (1980-1982). The set of works reveals the artist’s passion for nature and for the location, which has been considered one of the most important of the genre in the world by Sculpture Magazine, of the International Sculpture Center, in Washington D.C. (USA), in 1987.

2. Amantikir Park is a garden with 35 thousand m ² and 22 gardens inspired by 12 different nations, each garden reveals something about the culture of the country it represents. Its plants come from countries like France, Germany and England. In addition to the gardens, there is a maze of bushes that presents a challenge to those who enter it, making an analogy to life: many times, our inner growth depends on roads difficult to travel in. Amantikir Park is supported by three pillars: diversity, sustainability and education, all visitors should leave the park with a different relationship towards nature.

About São Paulo

São Paulo is Brazil's largest city, a sprawling metropolis of art museums, street markets and immigrant neighbourhoods, famed for its food.

São Paulo spreads across a plateau about 750 metres above sea level, a sea of towers broken by patches of green. Avenida Paulista is the main boulevard, with the MASP art museum raised on two red concrete frames above a public square. Ibirapuera Park has curving buildings by Oscar Niemeyer, and the Pinacoteca in the old centre shows Brazilian art in a brick building beside the Jardim da Luz.

Top-ranked sights in São Paulo: Paulista Avenue (Avenida Paulista), Sao Paulo Municipal Theater (Theatro Municipal), Sé Cathedral (Catedral da Sé).
