Lasar Segall Museum
The Museu Lasar Segall is a museum in São Paulo named after the Jewish-Brazilian artist Lasar Segall .
The museum houses the legacy of Lasar Segall with around 3000 of his works. It is part of the foundation that was established in 1967 by his sons Mauricio and Oscar on the initiative of Segall's widow, Jenny Kalben Segall. The task of the foundation, which is based in the museum, is to exhibit, preserve and disseminate the works of art by Lasar Segel and to increase the overall reputation of the artist. The museum was planned by his brother-in-law, the architect Gregori Warchavchik , and opened in 1967 on Rua Berta, 111 in place of the former studio and apartment of Lasar Segall.
In 1985 the museum was integrated into the Fundação Nacional Pró-Memória , which in turn is part of the Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (IPHAN) and is therefore subordinate to the Ministry of Culture.
