About
The Museu da Imagem e do Som, known as MIS, is a museum in São Paulo, Brazil, devoted to the image and the sound. It sits at Av. Europa, 158, in the Jardim Europa neighbourhood, in the south-west of the city, and it is the kind of place to visit if you are curious about how moving pictures and recorded music have been made, kept and shared.
What you can see
The museum's collection brings together films, videos, music, photographs and other objects connected with image and sound. Because the holdings cover several media at once, a visit can move from the visual to the audible without much effort, and it suits visitors who enjoy looking and listening in the same afternoon.
Events and programme
MIS also hosts events alongside its displays. Since the programme changes, it is worth checking what is on before you set out, so that your visit lines up with a screening, a performance or an exhibition that interests you.
Around the museum
Jardim Europa is a quiet, residential part of São Paulo, which makes the museum a calm stop within a large and busy city. Plan your route in advance, as the surrounding area is best explored at a relaxed pace, and allow time to take in both the exhibits and the events on offer.
If you are drawn to cinema, photography, music or the history of recorded media, the MIS offers a focused and rewarding visit in the heart of São Paulo.
