Abstract

This dissertation is a study about the artistic mission of the São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP), when located at Rua 7 de Abril, in its first years. We intend to understand the conception of museum of its founder, Pietro Maria Bardi, while placing his ideias within the international context, as well as comprehending his thoughts on Art and Education and the role of cultural institutions. The critical analysis of articles, letters and texts from P. M. Bardi facilitated the gathering of data and information, which enabled the understanding of the structure and organization of the MASP, especially the educational part and the criation of the Instituto de Arte Contemporânea (Contemporary Art Institute - IAC). Finally, this text covers the events that have possibly affected the inicial structure of the museum, such as the agreement with FAAP, and which were their consequences (AU)
