Now you can visit all three buildings of the Pinacoteca de São Paulo with a single ticket! In addition to free admission to Pina Luz, Pina Estação, and Pina Contemporânea on the day of your visit, the offer includes all current exhibitions at these venues.
The goal is to make art more accessible to everyone and increase the number of visitors to the museum complex. This allows visitors to experience the museums as a whole and plan their own exhibitionitinerary.
The location is also a plus: since the three buildings are in the Luz neighborhood, it takes only a few minutes to move between them.
While Pina Luz and Pina Estação are connected by a passageway through Luz Station, Pina Contemporânea requires only a short walk through Parque da Luz.
