Museum of Sacred Art (Museu de Arte Sacra), Sao Paulo

Advantages: Lots of good modern art
Disadvantages: May be very different when you go - mainly exhibitions!

...I visited Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona last week, and found myself very impressed with the collections that they had to offer. It was the third art gallery I had visited in a week in Barcelona (after Miro and Picasso's collections), and, in my opinion, competed with both. The first impressions of the gallery are of the building's exterior. When it opened in 1995, many of the locals objected to the stark contrast the building with the surroundings. While I admit this criticism from residents, I found the white, glass, huge modern architecture to be inspiring and a breath of fresh air.

Advantages: Beaches, gorgeous tropical islands, unbelievably great value.
Disadvantages: Having to keep your wits about you, but no real problem.

If you’re lucky to get a clear day you can see every other tourist point you may want to visit. These being the Pao de Acucar (Sugar Loaf), the beaches of Leme, Copacabana, Aproador, Ipanema and Leblon. To the north you will see the Maracana football stadium, and the MAC (Museum of Contemporary Art) building – it resembles a UFO over in Niteroi. You will also see the Rio – Niteroi Bridge, a spectacular sight in itself. **MAC - Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Niterói. Niterói. Just 2R$ entry. (30p) Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's not, nor is it a sailors hat, or a spaceship either - so what is it? It's the MAC of Niterói of course. The MAC... Read review
