Museu Lasar Segall
From Wednesday to Monday, 11am-7pm.
Museu Lasar Segall (Museum Lasar Segall)
Conceived by Jenny Klabin, Lasar Segall’s widow and created by his sons Mauricio Segall and Oscar Klabin Segall in 1967, the Museu Lasar Segall (Museum Lasar Segall) is housed in the former residence and studio of the expressionist artist. His brother in law, the Russian origin architect Gregori Warchavchik, designed the building. In addition to storing the collection of over 3.000 original works from the Lithuanian Jewish artist made up of oils, drawings, watercolours, engravings and sculptures, the museum aims to stimulate the experience, reflection and experimentation in the arts field. Paintings portraying bananas, landscapes and shantytowns are central in the 'Brazilian phase' of the artist.
