New York Times Names Inhotim to ‘52 Places to Go in 2026’

Overview

• Inhotim is the only Brazilian destination on the New York Times’ 2026 list of 52 global places to visit.
• The paper highlights special anniversary programming featuring works by Dalton Paula, Davi de Jesus do Nascimento, Paulo Nazareth and 22 South American Indigenous artists.
• The museum is described as an expansive open‑air complex with about 500 works across 24 architecturally distinct galleries where one day is not enough to see everything.
• Travel guidance from the list encourages visitors to extend trips to nearby Belo Horizonte, the Serra do Cipó National Park and baroque churches in Minas Gerais.
• Local coverage notes Brazil’s recent presence on past lists—Manaus and Lençóis Maranhenses in 2023, Brasília in 2024—with no entry in 2025, and one outlet reports an unconfirmed 24th‑place ranking for Inhotim while the NYT leads with “Revolutionary America.”
