São Paulo Museum of Modern Art will reopen on 12 September with the debut of a new restaurant, 'Petí', alongside the opening of the institution’s 39th Panorama. The museum announced the restaurant as part of the same day’s programme, marking the return of public access at its site in Parque Ibirapuera.
The restaurant will be led by Victor Dimitrow and Bárbara Camargo. In its announcement, MAM São Paulo described 'Petí' as a Michelin Guide-recognised restaurant. No further details were provided about the menu, design, or operating schedule in the post.
The announcement places the restaurant opening within a broader museum moment, as the institution prepares to resume activities and launch one of its recurring survey exhibitions. The 39th Panorama is among the key titles in MAM São Paulo’s exhibition calendar, and the museum’s post paired it directly with the reopening date.
MAM São Paulo made the announcement through its social media channels, identifying Parque Ibirapuera as the location. The museum did not specify whether 'Petí' will operate as a permanent food service or part of a broader reopening programme beyond the 12 September launch.
The new restaurant joins the museum at a time when cultural institutions increasingly pair exhibition programming with visitor amenities. In this case, however, the museum’s verified announcement remains focused on the opening date and the names attached to the project rather than on any wider hospitality strategy.
For visitors, the key date is 12 September, when 'Petí' is scheduled to open together with MAM São Paulo’s reopening and the start of the 39th Panorama in Parque Ibirapuera.
