10 Specialty Museums in Centro That You Shouldn't Miss
With its plentiful beaches, dramatic mountains, and backdrop of samba and bossa nova rhythms, it's easy to fall in love with Rio de Janeiro. Made famous in song, Ipanema Beach is still the place to stroll, sunbathe, and be seen. The largest Art Deco statue in the world, Christ the Redeemer, beckons visitors to Corcovado Mountain. Rio’s annual Carnaval celebrations are bacchanalian extravaganzas of feasting, music, dance, and costumed revelry.

Inside this French Renaissance-style building is a collection of paintings by Brazil's finest contemporary artists as well as an impressive array of folk and African art.

I returned to this museum after many years and my previous impression remains: this is an important place if you want to understand the history of Brazilian academic and artistic life. On the ground floor you will find the temporary exhibitions and on the top floor you will see the classic, more academic works. It is important to remember that the building housed the fine arts school and once you acknowledge that you will appreciate the large halls and the high ceilings as well as the paintings. A visit to this museum, the Municipal theater and the National library make it for a cultural day in the city center.

Shown around by a delightful young lady, who mixed information about the building with facts about the local area. If you are interested in government, architecture or Rio's history, this is a very enjoyable place to spend an hour.

The old palace of justice of Rio de Janeiro was opened in 1926. Made in eclectic architectural style, here was the place of the Jury court of the Rio de Janeiro, and place of the important Brazilian criminal judgments. We have also a great collection of history furniture in exhibition.
