Created in 1978, in the open air, on grass and on the edge of alleys, the Felícia Leirner Museum, an institution of the State Department of Culture, is located in an area of ​​approximately 35,000 m², in Campos do Jordão (SP).



In addition to the lush landscape, mild climate and fresh air, the institution has in its collection 84 sculptures by Felicia Leirner, made of bronze or white cement. The works reveal the artist's passion for nature and portray the whole of a work divided into five phases: Figurative (1950-1958), Towards Abstraction (1958-1961), Abstract (1963-1965), Organic (1966-1970) ) and Clipping in the landscape (1980 to 1982).



The museum was considered one of the most important of its kind in the world by the Sculpture Magazine of the Washington D. C. International Sculpture Center (USA) in 1987.



From the work of Felicia Leirner, one of the most prominent national artists, contemporary Brazilian sculpture began to gain international traces.



At the Felicia Leirner Sculpture Museum, the public also has the opportunity to visit the Claudio Santoro Auditorium, where the Campos do Jordão Winter Festival is held annually, the largest classical music event in Latin America.
