15.5.-13.9. 2026 Don't miss Damián Ortega at MASP! Join a tour and meet the stories of painters, admire their masterpieces, and uncover the museum’s history! Group discount available. Contact is possible via WhatsApp, email or the platform, please always check your email before the tour! We will meet under the iconic main building and talk about the history of the museum and its three main people. We will explain the unique idea behind the main gallery. A gallery with no walls! I will show you how it works, and what the main idea behind it was. Then we will travel back in time to the 14th century, and move forward through different art styles all the way to today. We don't have time to talk about every painting, but about 2.5 hours should be enough to cover around 70% of the works. These are paintings that are interesting for a special reason, like a theft that happened right here before opening hours or paintings where we can talk about the life of painters like Bosch, or Lautrec.
