Inaugurated in late 2013, this magnificent palace on Praça da LIberdade is one of Belo Horizonte's cultural gems. The vast third-floor gallery hosts special exhibitions that rotate every couple of months, while the downstairs is dedicated to free or low-cost arts events including film, theatre and dance; pick up a schedule onsite. The interior courtyard makes for a pleasant break anytime of day with its cafes, stained glass windows and retractable roof.
