PERMANENT SPACE DEDICATED TO MEMORIES AND ARCHIVES WAS INAUGURATED ON SEPTEMBER 16, WITH FREE ADMISSION
After nearly half a century of a life and career built in Brazil, Olivier Anquier has opened the doors of Arquivo Anquier, a space dedicated to memory, photography, emotions, and the stories of Brazil. Located at Praça da República, in downtown São Paulo, close to several of Olivier’s other businesses, the new space was inaugurated on September 16, 2026, expanding this territory of encounters, culture, and new experiences.
Conceived as a living space open to exhibitions, experiences, and cultural activities, Arquivo Anquier also seeks to contribute to the movement to rediscover downtown São Paulo, inviting residents and visitors to look at the region with fresh eyes, walk through its streets, and reconnect with the heart of the city.
Admission is free. The space is open Wednesday through Friday, from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
“Diário do Olivier: 20 Years Discovering Brazil”
The inaugural exhibition, “Diário do Olivier: 20 Years Discovering Brazil,” opened to the public on September 16, presenting 55 original photographs that invite visitors to explore different Brazilian landscapes, characters, everyday life, and traditions captured through Olivier’s sensitive perspective.
The exhibition is the first real archive to emerge from the enormous imaginary trunk of “Diário do Olivier,” the television program created and hosted by Olivier in 1998 on GNT, which traveled throughout Brazil for 20 years in search of the essence of the country and its people.
Olivier traveled through roads, cities, villages, and little-known places across a Brazil he chose to discover up close, taking millions of viewers along with him—often aboard his inseparable green Volkswagen Beetle.
More than a retrospective of his career, Arquivo Anquier was born from the desire to open these stories to the public. Images, objects, characters, encounters, discoveries, and memories preserved over decades now receive new interpretations in a space dedicated to preserving and sharing these experiences.
The First Archive: “Diário do Olivier”
The first archive, dedicated to “Diário do Olivier,” reveals a side of Olivier Anquier that, although it has accompanied him since childhood, remained largely hidden from the general public: his work as a photographer.
Photography, however, did not begin with the television program. It has been part of Olivier’s life since early childhood, initially through the eyes and cameras of his father, physician François Anquier, and remained present throughout his life in an intimate, almost discreet way, rarely displayed as part of his public career.
Now, for the first time, this personal perspective leaves his private archive and takes its place on the walls of an exhibition.
The project also follows Olivier’s first major recognition as a photographer, when he was invited to take over the entirety of issue No. 46 of C, a publication by Galeria Carcará dedicated to Brazilian authorial photography.
“This is the first time I am opening my trunk of memories, experiences, and photographs to the public. I feel that the time has come to share, in detail, the stories I experienced during these 20 years of Diário do Olivier and the fascinating places I discovered throughout Brazil. I want everyone to feel proud of our country—the country that has given me everything and to which I am deeply grateful,” says Olivier Anquier.
An Archive That Continues to Travel
Following the closing of “Diário do Olivier: 20 Years Discovering Brazil,” the photographs and objects presented in the exhibition will be auctioned through both in-person and online formats.
The initiative extends the project beyond the exhibition space, offering the public the opportunity to acquire pieces that were part of this story.
The legendary green Volkswagen Beetle will also have a special destination: part of the proceeds from its sale will be donated to the religious organization Missão Belém, connected to downtown São Paulo and dedicated to assisting and providing shelter to people experiencing vulnerability.
About Olivier Anquier
Based in Brazil since 1979, Olivier Anquier is a chef, baker, television presenter, and entrepreneur. Over nearly five decades in the country, he has built a career spanning gastronomy, television, and entrepreneurship.
A pioneer of artisanal breadmaking in Brazil, he hosted television programs for three decades, including the award-winning Diário do Olivier on GNT, and became a recognized figure in Brazilian gastronomy, encouraging millions of Brazilians to discover the joy of cooking and the art of welcoming others around the table.
At the helm of the brands Mundo Pão do Olivier and L’Entrecôte d’Olivier, Olivier maintains a particularly close relationship with downtown São Paulo, where he has lived for 20 years and where he operates part of his businesses—and now Arquivo Anquier.
With the opening of the new space, he reinforces his commitment to transforming another location in downtown São Paulo into a place dedicated to memories, culture, and the stories he has built throughout his life in Brazil.
As a resident and entrepreneur based in Praça da República, Olivier actively participates in initiatives connected to the revitalization of downtown São Paulo. He believes that investing in the region also means investing in human values and community life. In his view, downtown São Paulo should not become another “bubble” within the city, but rather a meeting point that brings all the city’s “bubbles” together.
In recognition of his contribution to the city, Olivier Anquier received the Title of Honorary Citizen of São Paulo in 2024 and the City of São Paulo Award in 2025.
Money Back in Seniors’ Pockets: President Trump Sends Medicare Premium Payments to More Than 20 Million Seniors, Announces the Largest Steel Plant in American History, Reverses Years of Anti-Mining Policy, and Streamlines Government Services Through America.gov
On October 2, President Trump announced one-time payments of $90 to help more than 20 million seniors pay their Medicare Part B premiums. It is the first time any President has used the Medicare Improvement Fund to directly lower costs for seniors. Most eligible seniors will receive a direct deposit in early October, and those without direct deposit will receive a check by mail.
On September 28, the President announced that Mesabi Metallics will build a $15 billion steel complex in Lee County, Iowa — the largest steel plant ever built in the United States. The project will create 1,750 permanent jobs and up to 6,000 construction jobs, and is expected to generate an estimated $95 billion in U.S. economic output. The same day, the President moved to reverse years of anti-mining policy, so American steel can be mined, melted, and poured in America.
On September 30, every Senate Democrat voted against the Stop Insider Trading Act, which would ban Members of Congress, their spouses, and their dependent children from buying individual stocks — a reform President Trump called for in his State of the Union Address. Days later, the President’s Council of Economic Advisers released a new report finding that the Democratic Socialists of America’s top policies would cost American taxpayers an estimated $49 trillion — over $350,000 per household — over the next ten years.
The President also signed an Executive Order to streamline access to government services through America.gov, called on Congress to save college sports, and advanced trade with China through the new U.S.-China Board of Trade following last week’s historic State Visit.
The Administration ended Biden-era fuel economy rules, a change it says will make new cars about $1,300 cheaper, while the Energy Information Administration raised its forecasts for U.S. oil production in 2026 and 2027. The President also signed S. 2398 into law.
President Trump proclaimed National Manufacturing Day and recognized National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and First Lady Melania Trump announced the 2026 Fall Garden Tours. The investment keeps coming: Pirelli announced a $1.2 billion U.S. investment, part of $16.8 billion in new commitments this week.

$90 Back in Seniors’ Pockets: A First-Ever Medicare Payment. President Trump announced that the federal government will send one-time payments of $90 to more than 20 million Medicare enrollees to help cover their Part B premiums. The money comes from the Medicare Improvement Fund, which Congress funded with $2 billion but no Administration had ever used. Most eligible seniors will receive a direct deposit in early October; others will receive a check at the address they have on file with Medicare. Seniors can call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) to check their eligibility.
The Largest Steel Plant in American History Is Coming to Iowa. Mesabi Metallics will build a $15 billion steel complex in Lee County, Iowa — the largest steel plant ever built in the United States. The project will create 1,750 permanent jobs, support up to 6,000 construction jobs, and generate an estimated $95 billion in U.S. economic output over construction and its first decade of operations.
Senate Democrats Block the Stop Insider Trading Act. Every Senate Democrat voted against the Stop Insider Trading Act, legislation that would ban Members of Congress, their spouses, and their dependent children from purchasing individual stocks. President Trump called for its passage in his State of the Union Address, and the White House notes that nearly 90% of Americans support a congressional stock trading ban. The bill also included a requirement to show photo ID to vote.
The Real Cost of Socialism: $49 Trillion. A new report from the President’s Council of Economic Advisers, “The Real Cost of Socialism in America,” estimates that adopting the Democratic Socialists of America’s top policies would cost American taxpayers $49 trillion over ten years — more than $350,000 per household — through higher taxes, rising prices, and lost jobs.
Mined, Melted, and Poured in America. Alongside the steel announcement, President Trump reversed years of anti-mining policy. Mesabi’s plan links iron ore from Minnesota’s Iron Range to steelmaking in Iowa, creating a fully American supply chain from mine to mill for the steel that national defense, cars, shipbuilding, and infrastructure depend on.
Easier Access to Government Services Through America.gov. On September 29, the President signed an Executive Order to streamline access to government services through America.gov, making it simpler for Americans to find and use the federal services they rely on.
Lower Car Costs, More American Energy, and Fairer Trade. The Administration ended Biden-era fuel economy rules, a move it says will make new cars about $1,300 cheaper. The Energy Information Administration raised its U.S. oil production forecasts for 2026 and 2027, and the new U.S.-China Board of Trade builds on last week’s historic State Visit.
Honoring American Workers and Families. President Trump proclaimed National Manufacturing Day, called on Congress to save college sports, signed S. 2398 into law, and recognized National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. First Lady Melania Trump announced the 2026 Fall Garden Tours of the White House.
FROM THE WHITE HOUSE
FACT SHEET: PRESIDENT TRUMP ANNOUNCES MEDICARE IMPROVEMENT FUND PAYMENTS FOR SENIORS
The one-time payment headed to more than 20 million seniors to help cover their Medicare Part B premiums — the first time any President has used the Medicare Improvement Fund to directly lower costs for seniors.
@REALDONALDTRUMP
“I am pleased to announce that my Administration will, immediately, begin sending “Checks” of nearly $100 to over 20 MILLION wonderful Seniors to help pay for their Medicare Part B premiums, which we have already reduced by significant amounts. This money will come from the Medicare Improvement Fund, a pointless “Slush Fund” that has only been used by Dumocrats in Congress to pay for the Waste, Fraud, and Abuse for their Special Interest friends, and drive up Healthcare costs. We are finally using this Fund, along with my Most Favored Nations Deals, to substantially LOWER costs for our Seniors. I pledged to protect and preserve Medicare and Social Security, which were on the verge of RUIN by Joe Biden, who foolishly and maliciously let tens of millions of Illegal Aliens into our Country, and we are doing just that for America’s Seniors. This is separate from the equally substantial Refund “Checks” we are sending to One Million Americans who were overcharged for their Unaffordable Care Act plans by Joe Biden.
Because I delivered on this very important issue for the American People, they can also rest assured the highly popular $5,000 Trump Dividend will be distributed to every U.S. Citizen if, and when, the Republicans win the Midterm Elections! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP”
