The Oscar Niemeyer Museum is located in the city of Curitiba, in the state of Paraná, in Brazil. It was inaugurated in 2002 with the name Novo Museu or New Museum. With the conclusion of remodeling and the construction of a new annex, it was reinaugurated on July 8, 2003, with the current denomination to honor its famous architect Oscar Niemeyer, who completed this project at 95 years of age. It is also known as Museu do Olho or Eye Museum, due to the design of the main building.
