Contemporary art lovers with deep pockets should consider a helicopter trip to the fabulous open-air museum/botanical garden of Inhotim. It is truly an art experience like no other in the world. This fantasy land of art and beauty must be seen to be believed but it contains interactive art installations by such world-renowned artists as Doug Aitkens, Anish Kapoor and Matthew Barney as well as Brazil’s top artists like Tunga and Helio Oiticica. Set on 5,000 acres, the complex was created by mining billionaire Bernardo Paz as an ode to art and the natural beauty of his native region Minas Geiras as well as a social investment in the local community and his belief that beauty (natural and man-made) can unify humanity. Over many years, he has transformed this vast park into the world’s largest outdoor museum, providing permanent space for works that would never find room in museums. Read a profile of the founder: Local Legend: Bernardo Paz. Trips for an overnight or just a day trip can be arranged, but we recommend two days to visit all of the pavilions. Contact the Indagare Bookings Team to arrange.
