a precious venue to enjoy arts in rio de janeiro are the many cultural centers across town - these institutions are often somewhere in between small museums and purely cultural centers, and many of them put on display different art collections throughout the year.

in most cases the entrance is free, and in addition to expositions, seminars and talks are held, especially during periods of significance such as holidays or special commemorations.

as programming changes often, the best way to know what is on display on any given date is by checking directly with the cultural center's official website.
