Paula Azevedo, director of the Inhotim Institute, has announced that the museum’s permanent exhibition—designed specifically for its location in Brumadinho, Minas Gerais—should not remain confined to its original site. Instead, the outdoor contemporary art museum plans to take its installations on a tour of other cities in Brazil to mark its 20th anniversary. This initiative was highlighted by the São Paulo newspaper O Estado de São Paulo in a front-page story titled "Open-air, ready for the journey." The move reflects a broader effort to make the museum’s art more accessible and to engage audiences beyond its current location. Inhotim, established in 2006, has attracted over 5 million visitors over the years. The museum showcases works by both Brazilian and international artists, including Adriana Varejão and Yayoi Kusama. However, the institution’s history has been complicated. Originally created to house the private art collection of businessman Bernardo Paz, the museum faced controversy when Paz was convicted of money laundering in 2017. Though the conviction was later overturned in 2020, the damage to his reputation was lasting, and he stepped down from the board of directors in 2017. The museum also suffered from the 2019 collapse of the Brumadinho dam, which killed 270 people and led to an eight-month closure during the 2020 pandemic. Azevedo took on the role of director in 2022 with the goal of revitalizing the institution. One of her first initiatives was to inventory works by female, Black, or Indigenous artists, aiming to bring greater visibility to these voices. This effort led to the redesign of the gallery dedicated to photographer Claudia Andujar, which reopened with additional works by Indigenous artists from across Latin America. The museum, which spans 786 hectares, with 140 hectares open to the public, is not only an art space but also a hub for scientific research. Inhotim collaborates with two federal universities in Minas Gerais on research projects, including studies on the effects of climate change on the seeds of the local flora. This dual focus on art and science underscores the institute’s mission to foster creativity and knowledge in a unique, expansive environment. With its upcoming itinerant exhibitions and ongoing research, Inhotim aims to remain a dynamic and influential institution in Brazil’s cultural and scientific landscape.
