Good news for those who love art and take the subway in São Paulo: the Pinacoteca is once again handing out free tickets to users of lines 4-Yellow and 5-Lilac.
The action has extended access to the museum’s three buildings free of charge until January 31st. So, find out how to secure your place and don’t put this trip off until later.
How to get free tickets to the Pinacoteca using the metro
The initiative is the result of a partnership between the Pinacoteca de São Paulo, the Motiva Institute and the ViaQuatro and ViaMobilidade concessionaires.
To take part, all you have to do is look out for the digital panels installed in the stations of lines 4-Yellow and 5-Lilac. They display a QR Code which directs you to book your visit online.
Each CPF can redeem up to two tickets, valid for full access to Pina Luz, Pina Estação and Pina Contemporânea. The process is simple, quick and can be done directly from your cell phone. In other words, it’s a great opportunity to fit a trip into your routine or plan an end-of-year cultural getaway.
The campaign also reinforces the integration between urban mobility and culture. After all, Luz Station is the main access to the museum and is just a few minutes’ walk from the Pinacoteca buildings.
