First inaugurated in 2002 with the name Novo Museu (New Museum). After the construction of an annex building, it was reinaugurated in 2003, with the current name to honor the famous Brazilian architect.
The first building was designed by Oscar Niemeyer in 1967, conceived as an educational institute. It was remodeled and adapted to function as a museum, for which Niemeyer designed the annex, reminiscent of an eye, imprinting it with a new characteristic identity.
The Museu Oscar Niemeyer (MON) is dedicated to visual arts, architecture and design. It houses an important own collection.
