Collections · six of them, 30 works

Finish one in a morning.

A collection is a group of works standing close enough together to see on one trip. Mark every one of them visited and the collection is complete — and you get a card to keep.

Marking one work visited is enough to start. It takes an account and a click — no photograph and no proof. Make one.

Caminho Niemeyer

Niterói · the waterfront route commissioned in his nineties, looking back across the bay at Rio. Four of the planned works stand.

Brazilian Cinema Center – Niemeyer Way · Juscelino Kubitschek Plaza – Niemeyer Way · Niterói Contemporary Art Museum · Oscar Niemeyer Popular Theater

44 works

Ibirapuera

São Paulo · six works inside one park, joined by the marquee — the canopy Niemeyer drew so you could cross between them without standing in the sun.

55 works

44 works

São Paulo centre
