July is a month of many special highlights at Inhotim. Throughout the month, we will be open from Tuesday to Sunday, and with more free days: as of July 5, every Wednesday will have free admission at the Instituto Inhotim. To guarantee your visit, pick up your ticket in advance. The last Sunday of each month also remains free.

What’s New in the Art Collection

On July 16, the Institute inaugurates its twentieth permanent gallery, dedicated to Yayoi Kusama. In a space built in the Orange Axis that will exclusively house the artist’s immersive installations, the public will get to visit the works I’m Here, But Nothing (2000) and Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity (2009). For the visitors’ convenience and comfort, Inhotim prepared a document with the special rules for visiting the Yayoi Kusama Gallery. Read it here.

This July is also the last opportunity to visit the temporary exhibitions Quilombo: vida, problemas e aspirações do negro, at the Lago Gallery, and O mundo é o teatro do homem, at the Fonte Gallery. Both remain on view through July 16. Don’t miss the chance to visit the group shows that make up the Abdias Nascimento and the Museum of Black Art Program.

Educational Program

A program with themed visits, workshops and activations also awaits you throughout this month of school break. With a comprehensive perspective of Inhotim’s spaces and collections, the Panoramic Visit takes place every day.
