Casa Das Rosas is a cultural institution located on São Paulo's iconic Avenida Paulista. The building itself is a striking example of early 20th-century architecture, designed by Francisco de Paula Ramos de Azevedo. Visitors can explore its permanent collection of Brazilian art, temporary exhibitions, and a well-stocked library focused on poetry and literature. The surrounding rose garden, from which the house takes its name, offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling avenue.
