The permanent collection of the MAM-SP is conformed of more than 4500 pieces dating from the 1950s to the present.

The original collection was made up of many works from the private collections of Ciccillo Matarazzo and Yolanda Penteado. However, in 1963 Matarazzo donated the entire MAM collection to the Museum of Contemporary Art - USP (University of São Paulo). Without the collection that originated it, it was only towards the end of the '60s that the museum was able to gather a new collection.

As interesting as its new acquisitions were, the situation caused the MAM’s directors and older staff, a certain nostalgia. The new works could never attain the quality and importance of the previous ones. So, instead of considering 1948 as the foundation of the museum, the curators decided to focus on museum’s trajectory starting from 1968, when the reconstitution of the collection commenced.

Under the administration of Milú Villela, the gamble on these new works and artists finally gained much strength in 1995. That same year, the museum had less than 2000 works in its collection, in contrast to the more than 4500 works that it owns today. Great talents were discovered and promoted by the museum, among them photographers Caio Reisewitz, Mauro Restiffe, and Márcia Xavier.
