The São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP) is an art museum and cultural centre founded in 1947. Its free-entry programme shapes how many families plan a visit: all of Tuesday is free for everyone, and Friday evenings from 6 pm are free too. Children aged 10 and under also get in free on other days, but that free ticket has to be requested at the ticket office with proof of identity, so bring an ID document for your child. That is the one catch, because buying tickets online is otherwise the recommended route, especially on the free days. For families who need them, the museum offers free accessible tours in Brazilian Sign Language, audio-described, or adapted for neurodivergent and autistic visitors, provided you book them in advance by email. Café MASP on site makes it easy to break the visit up with a meal.
