When it rains in São Paulo…

                                                                             …….just take the metro.

Did you think this is a metro station? Look at the space. 

I am amazed by the space under ground in São Paulo. Above the ground São Paulo is often congested, but just a bit down…..

The metro in São Paulo is really nice to look at as “a space”. It is also a place of art and culture. 

Consolação metro station

These panels in Consolação metro station are by Tomie Othake. On the Internet there is even a  map to show where you can find works of art in the metro of São Paulo.

Republica  metro station

The hart of São Paulo is the Praçá de Sé with the main cathedral. There is also the central metro station. It is where the red line crosses the blue.

Sé main station

A lot of art in the Sé station. Pity I Couldn't  find the name of the artist that made the mural. 

Exhibition of different artists at Sé

The statue is by Alfredo Ceschiatti ( some English text ) a very famous Brazilian sculpturer.

You almost forget that there is a train to catch .......

When we were there, we were in a hurry and just saw a few things. But I think it is worth to go to São Paulo, wait for the rain (it will come!) and go down into the metro to enjoy the many things of beauty…..

... or just for some peace and quiet.
