Rio Museum of Art

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 Museu:) really shows the culture of brazil but wish not so many floor were closed. Tuesdays free:)

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

Good space for exhibitions, however lighting of Funk exhibition could be better.

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.

I really appreciated the emphasis on the Native and Afro influence in Brazil. Through the oppression of these racial and ethnic groups, cultural expression has found other ways to flourish, effectively creating the rich, vibrant and colorful version of Brazil we are familiar with today. There is a lot more to learn about the history and resilience of African people in this country. Skip a couple tourist stops and opt for a short educational tour in the immediate vicinity of this location, i.e. Little Africa (details available in attached image).

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.

Possibly the best Art Museum in Rio at the moment. Great location, easily accessible by VLT, the new Rio tram line, close to the Museu do Amanhã. Their exhibitions, shown over several floors and across the two buildings, are quite original and spot on, Brazilian themed, equally displaying well known and new artists. Beautifully curated, each room has its own distinctive feel. The rooftop offers a stunning view of the surroundings, and if there is not a café at this spot, yet there is a fine restaurant on the ground floor.

In front of Amanhã Museum. It's not that good, but I would go anyway. I had the chance to see the Samba exhibition and it was very good indeed! The rooftop is totally worth it too. En frente al Museo del Mañana. No es tan bueno, pero iría de todos modos. Tuve la suerte de ver la exhibición de Samba y fue muy muy buena! La terraza vale la pena también.

It is too bad that a museum that appears to be recently renovated houses quite a poor collection of artwork. It has random artwork that is placed haphazardly throughout the various spaces. I thought it was a waste of my money and time to visit this museum. I'd save your money and visit the more substantial Tomorrow Museum diagonally across from the Museu de Arte do Rio.

Very little going on. Exhibits on display were really kind of gross, irritating and immature. Staff was fooling around. I would not go back here.
