RESUMO
This study examines the initial activities of the Museu de Arte Moderna (MAM) de São Paulo in context of the citys cultural questions after the II World War, showing contributions of actors, who are often placed in the background during the description of early years of the Museum: architects and intellectuals. This choice avoids to analyse the Museum like a main and isolated entity to insert it in an ensemble of several events and institutions generated by whom that participate in the creation of MAM and by possibility of dialogue due to its physical localization: the São Paulos downtown in later 1940 and 1950. The author investigates the relationships between São Paulos cultural environment and MAM construction of a modern project by institutional pathway.
