Museu A CASA do Objeto Brasileiro is a small exhibition space on Avenida Pedroso de Morais in Vila Madalena, São Paulo. Its changing programme focuses on contemporary Brazilian crafts and design, with displays that can include work by Indigenous artists. A neighbouring shop sells handcrafted pieces, from decor and personal items to furniture. The exhibitions and shop make this a useful stop if you want to see Brazilian design in a compact setting; admission is free.
A changing exhibition programme
The space presents temporary exhibitions rather than a broad collection spanning different periods. Contemporary art, Brazilian craft and design are recurring subjects. Past displays have included posters about Indigenous culture and work by Indigenous women from Kaupüna village, of the Mehinako people of the Upper Xingu.
The compact galleries mean each visit depends on what is currently on display. Check the exhibition programme before setting out if you have a particular theme in mind.
The shop next door
An adjacent shop sells handcrafted objects, including decor, personal items and furniture. Some pieces connected with past exhibitions have also been available there. It is a separate part of the visit, with a wider range of items to browse than the small exhibition space.
