The 29 best art museums in Rio de Janeiro

Incredible building, great use of space. Pro: - free tickets - easy 3 hour spent - diverse expo (temp and permanent) - antique fixtures and elevator - good A/C Con: - hard to get tickets (you need tickets for each expo and it isn't user friendly) use the real person booth if you are a foreigner (you need a cpf to use the self service machines) - path isn't self explanatory (sometimes hard to figure out where to go next) Overall it was a great museum,

Cultural centre in a former bank building which still keeps some of its old interiors. Top notch modern and contemporary art exhibitions, with superb museography, design and insight. They also have a very good library and gift shop and a nice restaurant.

Great museum. Entrance is free of charge but a cost free ticket is still required. 1 hour time needed to view the second and fourth floors.

Congrats to Flávio Cerqueira for his outstanding kind of artwork. Took time to think, to admire, to appreciate the power of the art.

Experience was very good. Very nice to visit. It's not too big.

Good exhibit about money, where it come from and Brazils history of it all. Great items on display and heaps to look at. Staff were friendly and the elevator is old school, has the attendant inside who slides the handle to control it.

So impressed by the Centro Cultural! This beautiful center is free entry, and everyone should see it! I went today and found out Walter Firmo’s exposition, and it was highly impressing, and the way it was curated, gorgeous. The ladies from the elevators were super nice. I would come back!

While wandering through the city, we stumbled upon the Museum of Modern Art (MAM) in Rio de Janeiro. This striking building immediately caught our attention with its unique architectural style. Designed by renowned Brazilian architect Affonso Eduardo Reidy in the 1950s, the museum is a masterpiece of modernist architecture, featuring open spaces and large glass panels that blend the structure with its surroundings. The entrance was free, and inside we found rotating exhibitions of contemporary art. Although I was expecting a permanent collection of modern masterpieces, the temporary exhibits were still an interesting and thought-provoking experience. Overall, MAM Rio is a great stop for art lovers and those curious about Brazil’s modernist architectural heritage. Even if you're not an art enthusiast, the building itself and its location in Flamengo Park make it worth a visit.

The exhibition is limited but fascinating. It’s architecture is beautiful. It seems that its gardens are unique. Though, since they were preparing a COP30 event, they didn’t give access to the garden. Isn’t this contradictory? Where is the respect to the citizens that had a public space restricted?

A melange of paintings, a few sculptures and, the cherry on top, a modern exhibition based on lights, stroboscopic effects and threads.

Beautiful building. No collection but there was a very interesting exhibition about the great garden designer and landscape architect Burle Marx. The setting is beautiful in the Flamengo Park. Green surroundings. Tram stop nearby (Antonio Carlos) and not far from Lapa on foot.

Very unpleasant experience. From the moment we entered the 2nd floor, we were closely followed by a museum guard, which made us feel uncomfortable. One guard in particular—a young woman with long curly hair—was especially aggressive in both her expression and behavior toward us and our child. They followed us so closely that it felt intimidating. When we stepped onto a standard balcony area overlooking the 1st floor, the same guard approached us and abruptly told us we were not allowed there, speaking in a very rude manner. At that point, we decided to leave immediately. There were no English skills among the staff, and when we couldn’t speak Portuguese, the guard rolled her eyes at us as if insulted. As we left, there was no polite goodbye or thank you for our visit—only another guard following us. The whole atmosphere felt tense and uncomfortable. We had really been looking forward to this visit, but sadly we left upset and disappointed.

Very beautiful place, a must see! It was my first time in Rio and I visited a couple of the museums however, by far this is my favorite if you're into art painting sculptures whatever it is definitely check the spot out. They had dancing outside of the museum. It was very beautiful and definitely check out the wall butts lol.

They had a great expedition at times :) The location is very nice and big, easy to get to with the VLT ( Get off at Antônio Carlos and cross the big steep Bridge ) Flat area easy access with wheelchair small coffee shop for a coffee There are many shades around the building, so bring a picnic blanket if you want to spend time in the shade with the family, During the weekend there is always something happening outside, dance classes, skate, inline bikes etc. Close to walk from Marina da glória

Interesting collection of imperial and contemporary art. Cost R8 to get in. Well worth it. Contains the largest painting ever commissioned in Brazil. Make sure you ask for a headset guide. It wasn’t offered to me, so I didn’t even know it was an option until too late.

Amazing fine arts' museum. Many galleries showcasing national and international paintings. There is a sculpture gallery and temporary exhibitions as well. What I like the most is the the Battle of Avaí painting which was painted in small parts to make an amazing 600cm x 1100cm mega painting. If you're in Rio, I'm a local guide here. Feel free to get in touch with me through any social media: @DEBOMZAI

Nice museum with many different rooms where can you can find different modern art and classic Brazilian art from 19th and early 20th. If you are in the area, I strongly recommend to pay a visit !

A very neat building in a great part of Rio to explore. The collection itself was not very big or diverse, but they have several worthwhile pieces. Right now they have hashtags beneath a lot of the paintings, which to me was a bit tacky but also pretty funny (things like #selfie under self portraits). There is a small admission fee to enter.

Super super super Lame!!! One room with plaster statues. Thank god I didn’t pay anything.

An excellent place to visit you want to learn more about Brazilian history through local and international painter's eyes.

Beautiful museum. Lovely displays

This museum has a beautiful of art collection, with loads of pictures by Candido Portinari. The views from the place are great, one of the best from Santa Tereza. Highly recommended! There is no food there, so prepare yourself before you go. They have parking but it is limited, so if the place is busy, you may need to go somente else to park.

A nice modern building, unfortunately, the rooms and most of the collections were closed to the public at the moment. But the park Glória Maria gave a nice surprise to compensate the disappointment. It is just next to the museum.

It says that the place is only closed on Tuesday but it's actually closed when we went there on Monday. We have encountered similar situation before at the Paço Imperial. The information on the app may cause confusion, better double check it before you go.

A former house of a prominent Brazilian who has a beautiful collection of artworks. You can see how he live there during his time and different style of paintings from his collection. Its like $4 entrance fee.

A small museum with good collection of the contemporary and modern art, located in a beautiful garden to walk around. Reminded me of Nezu Museum in Tokyo with their similar walking path.

Beautiful museum with some astonishing pieces (one Courbet), a beautiful garden with a magnificent view over Central, and a very quiet afternoon away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Lovely museum and garden with a stunning view on the city. Less crowded than I expected so absolutely recommended

Beautiful, Interactive, and So Worth It! This museum was absolutely beautiful and full of life. It was very interactive and made learning about Brazilian culture so fun and engaging. We explored different genres of art—sculptures, photos, and even physical items we could touch. We got to make music, listen to traditional sounds, and watch powerful videos that brought the culture to life. Every part of the museum had something new and meaningful to experience. Highly recommend if you're in Rio—it’s a must-visit!

Cool museum, astounding view over Rio and Museum of Tomorrow, the museum shows were well presented and interesting. Only problem : the museum only takes a card (no cash) for purchasing tickets. Luckily some nice Italian tourists let me give them $40 Reais to buy two tickets for me.

I definitely recommend the visit to understand a bit of the rich and diverse culture of Rio. As of today there's an exhibition around Funk, abolitionist women, carnival and indigenous language. We absolutely loved it. There's a terrace on the top floor with a lovely view, and a lift for accessibility purposes.

Museum is great. Shame the rude staff. They force you to leave your handbag and then make you wait in a massive queue together with the people entering the museum to pick it up. When you ask for their name they are rude and refuse to speak English just repeat whatever in Portuguese louder

You can spend all day here. It's amazing!!!

It is a very wonderful building with a terrace for sightseeing the Museum of tomorrow there is a library at the fourth floor where you can work breathe or play. There are also table games sometimes students comes and is not very quiet. However you can work comfortable there there are also books in English Portuguese and Spanish. The library is free access the museum is free on Tuesdays and the other days you have to pay important on Wednesday is closed.

This was quite an interesting museum. It is focused on Brazilian culture and Brazilian art. It is not the fanciest museum we’ve ever been to, but the subject is beautifully presented. It will give you a nice and unique perspective on current and indigenous Brazilian art and culture.

Very nice staff, attentive manager. I had the feijoada and it was really tasty. Nice thing ti do just before you stroll around the gallery

Average food experience (we took the zucchini lasagne and the cannoli). And quite expensive for such an average dishes. But nice ambient just to rest before going to museum and also really nice staff :). Maybe for only some coffee and a cake, it would be better experience.

Very comfortable Cafe with a friendly lady! I recommend it 👍

Stopped by for a quick coffee and meat pasty. Lovely atmosphere, great service and great product.

I ordered the salmon salad. The greens were fresh and crisp, tomatoes juicy and sweet, goat cheese delicious. The salmon was rotten. It was one of the most disgusting things I've put in my mouth in years. I imediately spit it out. I told the staff. They didn't seem to care. The manager was clearly bothered by the fact that some one would complain about being served garbage on what would otherwise have been a delicious salad. They tried to tell me it was smoked but it was clearly cured like gravalox. As a chef for 20 years I know what good fish tastes like and I also know that when you cure old fish it only makes the fish taste worse as it concentrates the flavor of the rancid meat. They refused to do anything about it. I paid because I wasn't looking for a discount, I just wanted them to acknowledge they were serving people food that wasn't safe for consumption. The manager should be fired. His number one job should be making sure the food is safe to eat. Absolutely disgusting.

Were told most items were frozen and would take **40 minutes** to unfreeze! Eeeek.

20 minutes to recieve a cappacino to takeaway. Ridiculous!

There is always a spacious atmosphere with several spots for you to enjoy. My Instagram @ragnarokfranklin (Original) Jardins do MAM um lugar perfeito para contar histórias para seus netos hehe.

(Translated by Google) Excellent place to relax, rest and enjoy the view, and to stop during the run and bike ride. There is always someone selling coconut water, drinks, etc. Very popular for graduation photos because of the view. Great place for photos of Christ, the Aterro and Santos Dumont. (Original) Excelente lugar para relaxar, descansar observando a vista e para paradas durante a corrida e pedalada.

(Translated by Google) Great place near the airport, you can go quickly if your flight was delayed or has a delay. We go there to do sports activities, body art, go with our pets and family, and that's all great. (Original) Ótimo lugar perto do aeroporto, da pra ir rapidinho sim seu vô foi atrasado ou tá com problema de atraso. A gente vai pra fazer atividades esportivas, de arte do corpo, ir com o pet e a família e coisa boa

(Translated by Google) Beautiful, but very dirty, Rio de Janeiro had everything to be the most beautiful place in Brazil but we don't take care of our city... (Original) Bonito, mas muito sujo, o rio de janeiro tinha tudo pra ser o lugar mais bonito do Brasil mas não cuidamos da nossa cidade...

(Translated by Google) Great place to enjoy nature and scenery. (Original) Ótimo lugar para apreciar a natureza e a paisagem.

(Translated by Google) Great place for a walk and outdoor exercise, picnics, events. Sometimes you may come across homeless people, there are few trash cans and the water on that shore has trash floating around. The landscape is beautiful, it is worth the visit. I RECOMMEND IT. (Original) Ótimo lugar pra um passeio e exercícios ao ar livre, picnic, eventos. As vezes pode encontrar algum morador de rua, têm poucas lixeiras e a água naquela orla tem lixo flutuando. A paisagem é bonita, vale a pena a visita. RECOMENDO.

You have to visit MAC of you’re in Niterói/Icarai. What a cool building! And the fact that something as cool as this is from the 90s? Wow… Worth the visit. Free entry on Wednesdays. They have one artist exposition at a time.

Beautiful museum, the building per se is an art piece!!! The views are amazing. The exhibitions were nice, I expected more from this museum to be honest. Permanent collection was nice but quite small. The temporary exhibition regarding costumes from the Carnival, really beautiful. Also, I would love to have a proper exhibition regarding the building per se, the process, construction, and so on, currently there are only a few pictures of the construction that’s it.

It’s an interesting building with great views, but to call this an “art museum” would be a complete joke. The inside of the building is completely empty and the little art that it does have feels dull, boring, and lacks any creativity. The top floor was also under renovation and restricted access. The staff are also quite rude and they require visitors to store all bags, no matter how small in size, in several lockers they say you’re “obligated” to use. To contrast, the outside of the building is free to walk up to and way more interesting than the museum itself. Calling this an observation deck would be a more appropriate title.

One of the best locations ever for a modern art museum. The sensuous, modernist, iconic masterpiece by the unparalleled Niemeyer takes full advantage of the wonderful vista of the picture-perfect Rio de Janeiro’s bay in a rare symbiosis of Architecture and Nature. The interior is equally rewarding; the circular - rotunda style echoing Lloyd Wright’s New York’s Guggenheim. You won’t forget the experience.

The epitome of elegant architecture! The art showcases were beautifully laid out and the museum was very accessible!

Amazing architecture. The art exhibition was beautiful. I loved the proposed walking circuit by the architect. Ticket prices are fair $16 reales per person, you CANT PAY WITH CARD, it’s either purchasing tickets at the reception with cash or online.

The Oscar Niemeyer building and location are very special. We also enjoyed a delicious light lunch at the restaurant there. We then spent 3 hours on the Praia Boa Viagem with the locals. Thoroughly enjoyed this day. We also caught the ferry back to Rio.

(Translated by Google) It's beautiful, but it looks quite abandoned. It's a bit sad to see that a lot of it is missing pieces, from the crockery on the floor, to some of the buildings, to the walls, it seems to have been vandalized. Some of the pieces are still in good condition, but not everything. Be careful! Lots of insects! Bring insect repellent. I was fully dressed, but the mosquitoes found gaps in my clothes and I was very allergic to the bites. (Original) Bonito, porém, parece bem abandonado. Um pouco triste ver que boa parte está faltando pedaços, de louça no piso, em algumas obras, paredes, parece ter sido depredada. Algumas peças permanecem boas, mas nem tudo. Atenção! Muitos insetos! Levar repelente. Estava totalmente vestida, porém os mosquitos encontraram brechas nas minhas roupas e tive alergia intensa as picadas.

(Translated by Google) Outside, surrounded by nature, there are many works by artists such as Waltercio Caldas, Hélio Oiticica, Ligia Pape... The museum, which was one of Castro Maya's residences in Rio, is also well worth a visit. (Original) Na parte externa, em meio a natureza, tem muitas obras de artistas como Waltercio Caldas, Hélio Oiticica, Ligia Pape... O museu, que foi uma das residências de Castro Maya, no Rio, também vale muito visitar.

(Translated by Google) A place with a lot of history and aroused many curiosities, the entrance fee is very cheap. The museum courtyard is huge, with many peculiarities. You can walk to the deactivated pool, above there is an old architecture that houses some period furniture and utensils such as statuettes, medals and paintings. Walking a little further on we find the house where the main part of the museum is located, with access to the two floors with period decoration and much more. (Original) Um lugar com muita história e despertou muitas curiosidades, o ingresso é muito barato. O pátio do do Museu é imenso, com muitas particularidades, Você pode caminhar até a piscina desativada, acima tem uma arquitetura antiga que abriga alguns móveis e utensílios de época como estatuetas, medalhas e quadros. Caminhando um pouco mais a frente temos a casa onde é a parte principal do Museu com acesso aos dois andares com decoração de época e muito mais.

Nice place and exhibits. I went there for Amazon festival.

Happened upon a performance in the outdoor space, Carimbo dos Altos, which was a magnificent presentation of an indigenous story from the Amazon region (all in Portugese), so I did my best to understand it!! Then I ventured into the museum which is truly remarkable. The artwork in clay and wood is so compelling, earnest, and beautiful. It is very well presented, with English options via a QR code. The gentlemen at the store entertained my basic Portugese and spoke with me for about 20 minutes, telling me more about the museum, the artists, music and some instruments. I bought a few pieces of art to take with me and wish that I had more time there. I wouldn't miss this museum if I were you!!

Laidback location with plenty of space for kids and a good cultural offering

Amazing museum with free parking! I’ll be back soon.

Fantastic

(Translated by Google) Art exists. And it guides, dialogues, diverges and converges. Contemporary has such a name, but it is no longer... what is art? It is difficult indeed, and it is meant to make one think. This is done in wonder, just like philosophy. This gallery carries this pulse, and it has always pulsed. It is small, it is concentrated.

Art gallery or museum, it depends on the exhibition they are showing, which changes from time to time. Regular bathrooms if you need. There is no air conditioning so on summer time it can get pretty hot. Overall a good visit. If you're in Rio, I'm a local guide here.

Great place for a picture with all the army ships and monuments

Fabulous & very unique interior design of the building 👍❤️

This is a quite place. I have been there several times but enjoyed only one an exposition. The is a small bistro where you can enjoy crêpes inside. You have also a reading room with plugs for labtop.

A huge space without partitions were you can enjoy great expositions of art at a different building. If you look up, you will fell like looking for a traditional seiling with vaults, but when you lay down your eyes, you see a stone ground that match`s and bring diffrent`s atmospheares to the expositions.

One of the must see museums in Rio de Janeiro, they usually have great exhibitions here, and the building itself with its historic architecture. It's close to the Brazil's Bank Cultural Centre (CCBB) where sometimes both institutions work on the same exhibition. One great event every year is the Anima Mundi, where Casa França-Brasil has loads of recreational activities.

It is a good space but the art itself can be of questionable taste. The standalone vents are usually good.

There's a few items in the lobby about the postal service, and the elevator is a fine example of the period. Otherwise it's just a bunch of modern art galleries.

Free entry to this very lovely old post building. There are many different showing in the building so there should be something for everyone, and if non of the showing are interesting the building it self is also interesting.

Amazing open space with arts and cultural themes. Its a huge space used for cultural and arts events and exhibitions. It was a Diwali event ( Indian Festival)

It's a small museum with a nice bistro inside. You should use the old elevator.

It's a place for art exposition were you can see more than one expo. Have a great space and elevator. The stears of wood have a great design. The person who made it was a great joiner!

An excellent environment where you can meet various aspects of regional and national Brazilian art, and various international artists as well. The historic post office building provides a seemingly natural athmosphere for those that want to feel the sense of genuine art.

Beautiful place and open area was amazing.

A nice place with good modern art expositions. I appreciated several time the library with my son. Books for children can be consulted for free. Excellent ambiance.

Nice architecture but not so good expositions. It is a beatiful place inside and outside but their expositions (at least when I visited) were not interesting at all.

Not on mondays and tuesdays!

(Translated by Google) A place where educators, artists, and the public had an excellent project. I regret the closure of Casa Daros here in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

I visited this incredible gallery twice, because I didn’t get enough the first visit. They were exhibiting Tania de Maya’s work… which was beautiful and very well exhibited

For free, but remember to bring ID such as passport or CPF or such a photo on your phone.

Lovely cultural center with free entry.

The building is gorgeous and the exhibitions about traditional Brazilian art are very interesting. There's also an art store, a cafeteria, a rooftop terrace and a library. Definitely recommended.

Adorable small exhibition space. In and out in 30-45 min. The exhibition while we were there was on carnival crafts, with elaborate head dresses and stunning outfits. Recommend if you’re in the area especially on a rainy day.

A nice place for visiting to know more about Brazilian culture! There are a Cafe and Shop!

Great space, but I wanted to buy some of the crafts in the shop. You can only pay with BIX system and you can only have an account if you have a Brazillian bank account. So as a foreigner I could not purchase anything (not even with cash). Also you need to have photo ID to go in e.g. passport or drivers licence.

Entry is by the hour only with a guide. Nice design in each room.

It's a lovely place, they are asking for vaccine certificate and following all the COVID guidelines. It's not a museum itself but more a private well curated collection with a great variety, with some pieces from Egypt, China, Europe, etc. The museum was the house of the art collector whom gives the name to the place, so you have an intimate look to her life and her taste in arts. The only thing missing for me is the lack of tags in the pieces, so most of the times you don't know what you are looking to, but the lady there mentioned it was a decision Klabin to keep everything as it was, no tags, no guided visit but a mediated visit.

One of the best house-museums in Río. It's not so big, but has a lot of things to see. Also there is a guide who speaks English which is not common in Río. Highly recommended to visit.

Interesting place. I recommend to visit. The time will take about 30 minutes.

Unfortunately with limited opening hours: tuesday and sunday between 2 and 6pm.

Very special and beautiful!!

Nice old building with good restaurant inside, downsides are no parking lot, dirty street of old Rio's Downtown, you have to walk nearly two blocks from the nearest parking lot until this place, that I see as a big security fault since that is not a pleasant area of Rio's Downtown to walk. A pleasant building in an unpleasant location.

It has restrooms and elevators, and admission is free. It's close to the Royal Cabinet, so it's worth a visit.

Free museum that you must see if in the park. You have nature and the history of how you got the nature in the same park. I love how this museum opens your eyes as a tourist to the fact of slavery, poverty, racism, women suppression, and classism that led to the city today - and is still alive today as well. They have pieces in English as well.

(Translated by Google) The Museu Historico da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro was founded in 1934 and is housed in a complex of several buildings, including two exhibition buildings from the 19th century. It has a collection of around 24,000 works. The museum's collection is quite diverse and reflects the diverse culture of Brazil, with a focus on the city of Rio de Janeiro is located. Not many European tourists come here, as it is a little hidden in the urban natural park Parque da Cidade in the Gavea district. We were welcomed here all the more friendly and openly and started talking - all in one Language mix of Portuguese, English and even a few words in German.

It is interesting to say that my wife and I, who were born and have lived in the city for many years, since we now live in Rio das Ostras, were taken by my sister, who lives in England, to visit the museum. I have nothing but praise for the team of professionals who guide visitors. We had a true history lesson about the city of Rio de Janeiro, because each exhibit we came across provided an incredibly complete narration of the historical fact that was represented there. Congratulations to everyone who makes up the team that looks after and manages the MHC! With your friendliness, kindness and competence, you bring the history of our city to life!

Só elogios à equipe de profissionais que ciceroneiam os visitantes. Tivemos verdadeira aula de história da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, pois a cada objeto exposto que nos deparávamos tinhamos uma narração incrivelmente completa do fato histórico que estava ali representado. Parabéns a todos que compõem a equipe que zela e administra o MHC! Vocês com sua simpatia, gentileza e competência dão vida a história da nossa cidade! Luiz de Jorge Dias Selma Regina M.

(Translated by Google) I took the makeup course offered on the website, and it was the worst experience I've ever had. I was treated as if they were doing me a favor, and I was even told that the course was free because the R$450.00 I paid was used to buy products. The makeup looked horrible (I have a photo) to the point that I had to remove it before leaving. When I told them that I lived abroad and wasn't going to buy all the products (I spent a bit more than R$600) because they were cheaper here, I was also told that it would have been easier if I had done it here, because the course is supposed to encourage people to buy all the products. I was totally frustrated. (Original) Fui fazer o curso de maquiagem oferecido no site , pior experiência que tive. Fui tratada como se estivessem me feito um favor, e ainda ouvi que o curso era de graça pq os R$450,00 que paguei eram revertidos em produto. A maquiagem ficou horrível (tenho foto) a ponto de eu precisar retirar antes de sair. Quando eu informei que morava no exterior e não ia comprar os produtos todos (gastei 600 e poucos reais) pois aqui era mais barato, ainda ouvi que era mais fácil eu ter feito aqui então, pois o curso é para estimular a compra de todos os produtos. São totalmente frustrada.
