The Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil Belo Horizonte occupies a building from 1930, fully renovated in 2009, with six floors and 12 thousand square meters of constructed area - 8 thousand square meters open to the public and 4 million square feet that will be open in a next phase of reformations - which puts the CCBB BH amongst the greatest cultural centers of Brazil. Theatre with seating capacity of 264 people, a multipurpose room for audiovisual, a library and two cafeterias fill the neoclassical architecture, as well as large exhibition galleries. Visits to the building and the exhibits are free. Tickets for theater performances of dance and music cost R$ 10 (full) and R$ 5 (half). Open Wednesday to Monday from 9am to 21pm.
The CCBBB is located in a lovely building. I saw the Man Ray exhibit, which I believe runs to about early March 2020. While not Brazilian, it is a great show, complemented by a long but extremely interesting documentary, and on the level of anything you will find in New York City or the major cities of Europe. Since I was there over the 2009/2020 holidays, not much else was going on, but well worth the visit.

Conceived by the industrialist José Navarra, the Capitólio Municipal Theater was designed by the engineer Frisoti Agostini and built by the brothers Antônio and Celestino Pires, having been inaugurated in 1927. The decorative elements of the facade and interior, characteristic of the eclectic period, are attributed to the Italian Alexander Valatti. For a long time, the place served as a show room and as a movie theater. In the 1970s, it only functioned as cinema and began a great period of decadence, which culminated in the closure of its activities. In 1983, it was acquired by the City Hall and underwent extensive renovation and recovery, with the construction of new dressing rooms, toilets and foyer, replacement of electric and hydraulic pipes, repairs and painting in general, with its reopening in 1985. 2008 went through new works, having been reopened in May 2011. In 2016, the theater dressing rooms were renovated.
