    It's a fabulous place that lacks professional assistance. The church, the main house and the patio are wonderful photo spots. I missed someone or some technological gig to tell the history and what was there to see. One should visit because it's a memory of slavery times in Salvador.

    (Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful views of Salvador, a passionate place. The sea is an invitation to re-energize in the salty waters. The Museum of Modern Art has excellent exhibitions, which are a delight for the eyes and the intellect. And the Solar Community welcomes you with open arms for a sunset, a swim, and a cold beer. Mandatory stopping point is Bar A Novidade. (Original) Uma das vistas mais lindas de Salvador, um lugar apaixonante. O mar é um convite para reenergizar nas águas salgadas. O Museu de Arte Moderna conta com excelentes exposições, que são um deleite para os olhos e para o intelecto. E a Comunidade do Solar lhe recebe de braços abertos para um pôr do sol, um mergulho, e uma cervejinha gelada. Ponto de parada obrigatório é o Bar A Novidade.

    Unfortunately, this is a museum that could likely be skipped if you are pressed for time. However, it is free so if you are passing by I would think it is worth dropping into. The best thing is the view. There is no WiFi. Perhaps check the exhibitions prior to visiting to see if it is worth a visit for you.

    It’s kind of sketchy crossing the busy thoroughfare to arrive in foot. We found a single room with some cool paintings but hardly worth the detour. It’s my j derstanding that parts are j see renovation so perhaps it will improve

    No need to say that this is one of the most beautiful spots in Salvador. The sitio features a brand new - and small - charming cinema for art movies. The Chapel itself has been recently renewed and now counts with a fixed exhibition.

    Great exhibitions and beautiful buildings on the water. Jam no MAM (jazz after sunset) is fantastic.

  • 5/5 Ana Mafalda T. 1 year ago on Google • 59 reviews
    Super nice exhibitions with artists ateliers open for a visit. Super nice environment, kind staff, nice coffee shop with delicious goodies. We try the small pie of salted caramel. Amazing. It was one of the best places when visiting Salvador. And the view of Gamboa from there, also super nice! Highly recommended! 5 ⭐️

    They have cheap but nice jazz concerts at Saturdays. Take a cab or an uber to came here. Avoid cars once there's no much space to park and there's a lot of people offering their "services" to take care of yours.

    (Translated by Google) We arrived and it was closed. No website had this information. I find this a disregard for the tourist. It doesn't cost to post the information that it's not working.😔 (Original) Chegamos e estava fechado. Nenhum site tinha essa informação. Acho isso um descaso com o turista. Não custa postar a informação de que não está funcionando.😔

    That's en event called jam in MAM and it's absolutely wonderful.

  • 5/5 Yuri de C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) One of the best spots in Salvador. The beach is absurd. The beaches. Bar Novidade has the best garlic and oil shrimp I've ever eaten. By the entrance of Solar do Unhão, you will find the above and the famous bar of Dona Suzana. At the first bar you can take a boat (20 reais per person) to go to Bar da Mônica. (Original) Um dos melhores pontos de Salvador. A praia é absurda. As praias. Bar A Novidade tem o melhor camarão alho e oleo que já comi. Pela entrada do Solar do Unhão, você encontra o supracitado acima e o famoso bar da Dona Suzana. No primeiro bar você consegue pegar um barco (20 reais por pessoa) para ir até ao Bar da Mônica.

    (Translated by Google) We arrived and although it is within the hours that the site provides, the MAM was closed, with no plans to open. I suggest guiding tourists correctly and putting the correct times on the website. We went on a Friday and arrived at 3pm. (Original) Chegamos e apesar de está dentro do horário que o site fornece, o MAM estava fechado, sem previsão de abrir. Sugiro orientar de forma correta os turistas e colocar os horários corretos no site. Fomos em uma sexta-feira e chegamos as 15hrs.

    It will only worth to go, if you love unpleasant pieces of art and loves to be "the cultural person" Apart from the beautiful view of the deep inequality of Brasil. And last but not least, take care with your belongings, due to the community that will beg you some money to park your car.(don't believe them, there is a parking lot down the road)

    My favorite place in ssa 🙏

  • 3/5 RJ W. 4 years ago on Google
    Bahia or not, don't expect a lot of art with a pronounced African, diasporic esthetic. Maybe you'll get lucky if a special exhibition is there.

    Fora do circuito do centro histórico da região central de Salvador, no caminho para o Farol da Barra e outros bairro, fazendo par dos seus vizinhos, Marina de um lado e Praia da Gambôa do outro, esse é um lugar perfeito para ficar quantas horas desejar, com acesso à boa comida, muita cultura e uma vista paradisíaca da Baía de Todos os Santos.

    (Translated by Google) Oh, the view from this place is perfect, when the sunset is coming it is too beautiful, I went and visited the parts of the museum that have beautiful art exhibitions, only when I went to one of the parts they were closed, I intend to go again and maybe next time I go to the beach next door. (Original) Ai, a vista desse lugar é perfeita, quando vai chegando o pôr do Sol é lindo demais, fui e visitei as parte do museu que tem exposições de arte belíssimas, só que quando fui uma das partes estavam fechadas, pretendo ir de novo e talvez da próxima vez eu entre na praia que tem ao lado.
