The Glass House Museum

The Glass House is a popular private museum located in the Brazilian city of São Paulo. The museum itself is also an important monument of modern Brazilian architecture and attracts many tourists.

The Glass House was built in 1951 by Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi. The building turned out to be very futuristic, and at one time it was considered a real avant-garde of world architecture. The “glass house” is designed to make optimal use of sunlight and living space, but at the same time harmoniously coexist with the jungle stretching around. The building even now looks very stylish and modern.

In the first years after its construction, its creator, architect Lina Bo Bardi, lived in the Glass House, but after her death the building was turned into a museum dedicated to this outstanding person. Today, visitors can see more than 17,000 photographs and about 7,500 sketches made by Lina Bo Bardi. In addition, the exposition of the museum presents art, antique furniture, various documents and personal belongings that once belonged to the owner of this amazing mansion.
