Warning - not for those looking for Brazilian sauna stories - ignore this thread - - 

Once in a while, and not very often, Sao Paulo and Rio are blessed with some extraordinary cultural events.

Last  year, MASP had a large exhibit of more than one hundred Henri Toulouse Lautrec original paintings and drawings.

A few years prior to the above event, The Museum D'orsay in Paris decided to remodel and wanted a good place to store a large number of wonderful paintings during the Paris renovation.  Sao Paulo and Rio were chosen for the famous paintings.  The display was spectacular.  Here is a short utube film made of the exhibit of paintings from the French museum.  Notice the beautiful interior of the Brazilian building chosen to display the Paris paintings:

There were many more famous cultural events in Brazil over the years.

Now, in October, there will be a Da Vinci exhibit like none ever presented.  The exact day in October is not yet published.

For those who want to see something in Brazil other than the saunas, check out this article that discusses the upcoming Da Vinci exhibit:

Sometimes it is good to take a break from the saunas and see a bit of culture!

Try it, you might be surprised and like a bit of cultural found in Brazil.

I am in Brazil so often that I have time to see these things.

My favourite in Paris by far. Lovely, and well-chosen dreamy soundtrack ... Debussy and Ravel if I am not mistaken. 

No, you are not mistaken.  You would have had to watch the utube video to know that.  I am impressed.

That particular d'say exhibit was held both in Rio and Sao Paulo.

The Da Vinci (discussed above in the news article) is currently being displayed in Canada.
