Top 10 Museums in Zona Norte (North Zone), State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ)

December 10, 2021 Giuseppe Pratt

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.

Museu da Mare

Reviewed By G7749DXlauraf

I would highly recommend this museum to any tourist or Brazilian looking to learn more about the history of Rio de Janeiro! The 12 stages of this exhibit are beautifully curated and in accompanying the tour really educated me about Mare's unique history, struggles, and community solidarity. The staff and volunteers will give you a detailed tour and answer any questions you have. It is also accessible by public transportation right off of Avenida Brasil and felt very safe to me walking around during the day. Don't miss this incredible museum!
