Brumadinho, Brazil

Instituto Inhotim

Instituto Inhotim is a contemporary art institute and botanical garden set across roughly 140 hectares of native Atlantic Forest in Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Opened to the public in 2006 and founded by collector Bernardo Paz, it pairs more than twenty permanent pavilions by artists including Hélio Oiticica, Lygia Pape, Tunga, Cildo Meireles, Doug Aitken, and Matthew Barney with a botanical collection of thousands of species. The result is a hybrid institution where landscape, architecture, and large-scale site-specific commissions are treated as a single, evolving curatorial work.

Open-air contemporary art and botanical center across 140+ hectares of Atlantic Forest.
