The Museum of Popular Arts of Paraíba, located in Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brazil, is an art museum designed by Oscar Niemeyer as his final architectural project. Completed in 2012 and inaugurated that December, the building is colloquially known as the "Three Pandeiros Museum" for its distinctive circular form, which evokes the shape of the traditional Brazilian percussion instrument. Part of the State University of Paraíba, the museum officially opened to public visitation in 2014 and houses collections of popular art.
