- Mailson CostaSalvador, BA19 contributionsMAM DiversityThe Museum of Modern Art of Bahia (MAM) charms by the beauty of its environment, located by the sea and surrounded by a lush natural landscape. The museum offers a variety of cultural activities, including contemporary art exhibitions, workshops, musical concerts and special events. It is a vibrant and inspiring space that celebrates the cultural and artistic wealth of Bahia.Visited May 2024Traveled with friendsWritten August 3, 2024
- LPontes22 contributionsSite full of history and diversityThe location right on the water is a definite plus. Before you enter the building, enjoy the diversity surrounding the historical site. When we were there, the main building was being renovated, so they had a display to commemorate a theatre’s 60th anniversary with photos and theatrical costumes. Don’t leave without visiting the downstair displays of historical art artifacts. You may have a chance to visit the workshop area and interact with one of the talented artists. Parking is limited, so choose your time slot carefully. Unless the main entrance is blocked, pay no attention to parking attendants trying to get you to park outside and go straight down to the main parking area.Visited October 2024Traveled with familyWritten November 11, 2024

Be careful: most of the museum only opens in the afternoon (from 1pm). When i went, only one part was open, and it was good. Mostly contemporary artists (lots of photos). The rest was closed. There is also a café and a art cinema. The location is great, in old buildings on the seashore.

Very beautiful site, a little out of the center. Get there by taxi or Uber. The mansion allows you to discover a presentation of local artists with colorful and sometimes eccentric works... The chapel, a temporary exhibition highlighting a Brazilian sculptor. Note the small café/cinema where it is possible to eat while enjoying the shaded terrace and a magnificent view of the coastline and the small fishing port. No works in the garden which should have been closed!
In short, an interesting visit which allows you to get out of the crowded streets of Pelhourino!

Although it only had one open room, Walter Firmo's photography exhibition was spectacular with portraits of his vast career. I hope to have better luck next time. To the side, from the parking lot you have a very good view of the beach. I liked.

The museum has some interesting things. It's free. Now the snack...the experience was bad. I had two attendants when I came in. The two with the cell phone in the hand focused on something on the screen, they just didn't answer me. I wanted to buy snacks, but they didn't even look at me, even when I was asking the value of things. I ended up buying only two waters, because inside the diner all the seats were occupied and outside, the available tables were in the sun at 13:00. From Lascar. You should better do that. The bathroom has three cabins, but only one running. I couldn't use it because I was always busy. I held until I got to the hotel...kkkkkk.

I believe it is the best cultural tour to do in Salvador. From a walk in the Solar do Unhão community, having lunch at Dona Suzana's restaurant, to watching the sunset, looking at Bahia de todos os Santos. And, of course, during the break, see the entire museum collection, which is extensive and unmissable.

The museum itself is small. We tried different days to visit and each day some part of it was closed, even if google said otherwise.
I bought a book at its store but when I decided to open it was all glued due to humidity. Next day I came back to changed in the morning. It was closed. But the lady from the store was very nice and gave me back my money.
Very sunset by it side though.

This place is a must see in a visit to Salvador. The best sunset of the town, specially at saturdays, when there's a jazz jam session there. It is a museum, so you can visit the exibitions earlier, sit at the balcony and enjoy the view.

The museum was open the Wednesday evening about 4:30 when we stopped in. There was little inside to recommend it. But it was a peaceful place to sit outside as the sun was setting. It was a very nice modern building surrounded by a beautiful fence, overlooking the bay. But below was a wonderful restaurant and folks have mentioned the staircase... something that was in the "old museum" down the cliff to the left of the current museum. The restaurant below I can not find. I have the name written as Solar Contera... but nothing like that appears for me on the web or on this site. It is very old and rustic with uneven stone floors and brick walls. The food was very good at a moderate price. But best of all, visiting here at this time of evening is wonderful for the sunset. Even watching the lights come on in the favela next door was lovely. Then to go in for a lovely dinner was the perfect ending to our day.

I fail to grasp why public administrators enjoy opening museums if they know they are not to give much attention and if they don't really care about visitors!
This is a case in point. About 10 years ago it was booming and they created a sculpture park, really a great idea with a great view,
Now, everything is poorly planned, the park is most of the time closed, the collection is barely visit, service is weak, and jazz program - a plus and incentive to visit the small but good expo -- has just been deactivated. Yet, they are talking about new museums.
I like the collection and you would. The question is when to visit it!! Sorry, but they miss good management.

The Solar do Unhão (MAM) is a wonderful mansion with a chapel beside. Facing the Baía de Todos os Santos with its gorgeous view. But as a museum is a shame with nothing inside. The only thing that worth a visit is the wonderful staircase, a piece of wood,beautifully crafted in the middle of the main lobby.
The MAM's cafe is the place where at saturdays they play jazz music at sunset.
