Fundação Iberê Camargo

Iberê Camargo was one of the most important names of brazilian artists from 20th century. He was born in Rio Grande do Sul in 1914 and passed away with 79 years old, in 1994. He left a huge collection of more than 7.000 work of arts. The museum was created one year after the artists death, as a way to pass further his legacy. The building itself is a master piece and serve as a shelter and a school, they teach lessons of art and culture. In this museum, they also host expositions, seminaries, courses and workshops about Iberê's work and other renamed artists. Depending on the time of the year, you can sit outside to have a coffe and watch the most beautiful sunset of Rio Grande do Sul, by the Rio Guaíba.
