What to do and see in Gavea, State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ): The Best Museums
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.

1. Instituto Moreira Salles - IMS Rio
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,102 reviews
High up in the Gávea neighborhood and surrounded by the lush Floresta da Tijuca, the house where Walther Moreira Salles and his family used to live became in 1999 the headquarters of the Instituto Moreira Salles in Rio de Janeiro. IMS Rio offers exhibitions, film screenings, concerts and cultural events, and shelters the institution’s photography, music, literature and iconography collections. The house, planned by Olavo Redig de Campos with landscape design by Roberto Burle Marx, is a landmark of 1950s modern architecture and an attraction in itself.

We only had an hour so here at the end of our day, but would have loved to have brunch and then do the museum. The cafe is lovely, the grounds are beautiful, and we learned a lot about the history of urban development in Rio. Loved this museum as a lesser known, less touristy place to enjoy an afternoon away from crowds.
