Longtime museum featuring 19th-century Brazilian painting & sculpture, plus educational programs.

The building itself is an architectural masterpiece, the main staircase is such an imposing place. Totally worth visiting either as a tourist o...

Collection of religious objects, including altars, paintings & books, in the historic Luz monastery.

The exhibitions are broad, covering everything from the physical structure of penitentiaries to the artistic productions of inmates. The structure of...
