The National Museum of Fine Arts (MNBA) was created in 1937, during the government of Getúlio Vargas. The institution carried the legacy of Imperial Academy of Fine Arts (AIBA) through its collection. In a scenario of disputes between academics and modernists also the political instability with the rise of nazism, the painter Oswaldo Teixeira assumed the direction of the museum. Teixeira was called an academic, considered conservative and sympathetic to authoritarianism. This article seeks to contribute to the history of art institutions through a management study of Oswaldo Teixeira do Amaral on MNBA, from 1938 to 1961, with emphasis on the Estado Novo (1937-1945).
