Art Izu is home to one of Corumbá’s premier artists, Izulina Xavier. You can’t miss it – the giant bird sculptures and bronze statue of São Francisco in the front are stunning and the crazy paving is, well, crazy. You can purchase some handicrafts inside. Ring the well-disguised bell if the doors aren't open.
