Introduction

The Oscar Niemeyer Museum, nicknamed the 'Museum of the Eye', is a masterpiece by Brazilian modernist Oscar Niemeyer, famed for a round exhibition hall shaped like a human eye floating on yellow pillars. Inside, contemporary art, design and architectural archives rotate through the shows, with a spiral ramp drawing visitors onward. A cultural landmark of Curitiba, it fuses futuristic architecture with experimental art and, near the Botanical Garden, is a pilgrimage site for architecture and art lovers. Chinese audio guides are available, helping unpack Niemeyer's 'architecture as sculpture' philosophy.
