This museum is named after its creator, the famous Brazilian architect who actually completed the gallery at the age of 95.

The building is truly a feat of engineering, with the 2,000 square gallery appearing to be precariously balanced on a 60-foot yellow pillar.

The gallery itself has come to be known as the Museu do Olho, or the Museum of The Eye, due to its remarkable form which evokes the image of a gigantic eye being suspended in the air.
