The second picture is the Copan building. Did you know there are around 2000 people living there? They even have their own postal code!

On Tuesday a visit to the wonderful MASP museum is completely free but you must make an online reservation to visit! The way the art is exhibited is very special. All paintings are hung at a wall of glass and you will only see the painter at the back of the wall. So you can make a more objective first impression. This museum is highly recommended.
