Lonely Planet review for Museu Internacional de Arte Naïf do Brasil
Vivid color and a playful perspective are two of the characteristics of arte naïf paintings; many of the artists of this style came from outside the establishment. Also known as primitivist, the paintings in this permanent collection are extensive: over 8000 pieces, executed by artists from 130 countries, dating from the 15th century to the present. It's the largest museum of its kind in the world.
