While the museum’s structure, or lack thereof, is something of a marvel on its own, the interior was designed with an intentional lack of direction, allowing visitors to create their own journey through its maze of exhibits. The gallery contains Latin America’s most impressive collection of Western art mingled with pieces from Africa, Asia, and Latin American greats.

Chef Alex Atala has let his curiosity and distinction guide him to the pinnacle of new-age Brazilian gastronomy, inventing formally unheard of dishes such as banana, lemon, and priprioca ravioli and heart of palm fettuccine. While serving at eloquent yet comfortable D.O.M in São Paulo, Atala’s dedication to the exotic has led him to venture deep into the Amazon, in search of new ingredients to unearth.
