The Pampulha Art Museum, formerly the Pampulha Casino, part of the Pampulha Architectural Ensemble, focuses on varied artistic trends in exhibitions, research and conceptualization. In its collection, works of contemporary Brazilian art.



It is one of the buildings built by Oscar Niemeyer around Lagoa da Pampulha, in the Jardim Atlântico neighborhood in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, at the request of then mayor Juscelino Kubitschek, in the early forties.



The building is part of the Pampulha Architectural Complex, which is complemented by the church of São Francisco de Assis, the Casa do Baile da Pampulha and the Yacht Club. It was the first building in the complex to be built.

As soon as it opened, the city's first casino started to attract players from all over Brazil, transforming Belo Horizonte's nightlife. As the person in charge of the house was Joaquim Rolla, the same administrator of the casino of Urca, in Rio de Janeiro, and of the casino of the Quitandinha palace, in Petrópolis, the casino took to Belo Horizonte some of the biggest attractions of international musical shows. The glory days of Cassino da Pampulha were short lived. On April 30, 1946, during the rule of General Gaspar Dutra, gambling was banned throughout Brazil. It started to function as a museum in 1957, when it was known as "Palácio de Cristal".



Burle Marx signs the external gardens, which are decorated by three sculptures (by Ceschiatti, Zamoyski and José Pedrosa). Since the 1996 renovation, its facilities have had a library, souvenir shop, café and multimedia rooms.



The MAP has a collection of 1,600 works1, among them, exhibitions of Brazilian Contemporary Art, which focus on various artistic trends. One of the highlights of the collection is Guignard's works. Its collection brings together works by several plastic artists such as Oswaldo Goeldi, Fayga Ostrower and Anna Letycia, works by modernists such as Di Cavalcanti, Livio Abramo, Bruno Giorgi and Ceschiatti and contemporaries Antonio Dias, Frans Krajcberg, Ado Malagoli, Iberê Camargo, Tomie Ohtake, Ivan Serpa, Milton Dacosta, Alfredo Volpi, Franz Weissmann, among others.
