Museological cultural centers like these provide visitors with rare artifacts and valuable insights into a past epoch in carioca and Brazilian life - we have an entire section dedicated to the many museumsin rio de janeiro.  however, some of the institutions that we list here fit into the conceptual space between cultural centers and museums, and offer yet another option to the already rich rio's cultural circuit.

expositions and events are subject to frequent change, so checking accurate schedules on the centers' websites is always recommended.
