The Museu de Arte da Pampulha (Tues-Sun & holidays 8am-6pm; $2) - or MAP as it is usually called - is more difficult to reach: take the #2215 bus from Rua dos Caetes and get off when you see a sign for the museu to the left - you then have to walk down to the lakeside Avenida Otacilio Negrao de Lima, turn right, and the museum is on a small peninsula jutting out into the lake. It's worth the trip, although the small collection of modern art it holds isn't at all compelling in itself. The building, however, is a product of two geniuses at the height of their powers: Niemeyer constructed a virtuoso building, all straight lines and right angles at the front but melting into rippling curves at the back, with a marvellous use of glass; Burle Marx set the whole thing off beautifully, with a sculpture garden out back and an exquisite garden framing the building in front.
