the iconic museum of contemporary art boasts a characteristic disc-like shape, and it is one of the most important landmarks in niterói. 

designed by the architect oscar niemeyer, the museum takes pride in celebrating the art and culture of rio de janeiro and brazil.

the main access is the admiral benjamin de sodré avenue.

in the waters in front of the museum is located the morcego island, a rocky islet which helped to shape this unique local landscape.
