Museu de Arte Sacra de São Paulo (MAS-SP) is a public institution affiliated with the Government of the State of São Paulo, under the responsibility of the Secretariat of Culture, Economy, and Creative Industries. It was inaugurated in 1970.
Located in the city of São Paulo, the Museum occupies the Mosteiro da Luz, a convent belonging to the Order of the Conceptionist Sisters (Order of the Immaculate Conception - OIC), whose nuns live in seclusion.
The Mosteiro da Luz was founded in 1774 by Frei Galvão (Frei Antônio de Sant’Anna Galvão, 1739–1822), the first Brazilian saint, whose remains are interred beneath the Monastery.
Today, the Monastery stands as the only colonial building from the 18th century in São Paulo that has preserved its original materials, elements, and structure. It is an example of taipa (rammed earth) architecture.
The MAS-SP houses one of the most important collections of sacred art in Brazil, assembled by the Archdiocesan Mitre throughout the 20th century. The collection includes pieces from historic churches across the country, sculptures of saints produced in Brazil and Europe between the 16th and 20th centuries, as well as silverware and paintings.
Its holdings comprise religious sculptures from the colonial period and several masterpieces by prominent artists such as Aleijadinho, Frei Agostinho da Piedade, Frei Agostinho de Jesus, Mestre Valentim, Mestre Ataíde, Almeida Júnior, and Benedito Calixto.
