Dia Nacional das Artes: Six Open-Air Museums from New York to São Paulo
On Brazil's National Day of the Arts, ArteRef showcases six global open-air museums that transform the traditional museum concept. Fazenda Vista Verde, located 121 km from São Paulo in Araçoiaba da Serra, merges a luxury complex with an open-air museum influenced by Inhotim. This project, backed by a R$ 330 million investment from Sahyoun Properties and LN Urbanismo, features artworks by Rizza Bomfim, Paulo Climachauska, Loris Cecchini, and Livia Moura. Other notable museums include the Instituto Inhotim in Brumadinho, Storm King Art Center in New York, Yorkshire Sculpture Park in the UK, Benesse Art Site Naoshima in Japan, and the Kröller-Müller Museum in the Netherlands. Sahyoun Properties is known for its upscale residential developments, collaborating with JHSF and KSM.
