Football Museum / Mauro Munhoz Arquitetura

The Exaltation Room, a space where the structure of the grandstand is off the slope that supports it, puts the visitor in direct contact with the original architecture and the topography that has influenced the design of the neighborhood and the stadium itself. There, the slopes are apparent and the smell of damp earth completes the sensory experience. © Nelson Kon

Text description provided by the architects. Installed under the north stands of the Municipal Stadium Paulo Machado de Carvalho - the Pacaembu in Sao Paulo - the Football Museum celebrates the sport that became one of the best known Brazilian manifestations. Architecture, exhibition design and curation are integrated to show how football helped form the identity of the country and at the same time, was influenced and enhanced by the national culture. Opened in September 2008, the museum covers an area of 6 900 square meters in front of the Charles Miller Square.
