in providência, the favela bairro program created the open air museum - this is not a typical museum, rather it is a specially paved path going through the community with the intent of showing visitors the most significant and historical parts of the neighborhood. visitors interested in providência can get in touch with mauricio hora, a local community leader, via his website favelarte. 

 this museums should not be visited by foreigners without a professional guide who can arrange entrance via the local community association.
