The architecture of the building stands out in the Niteroi hills. Designed by Oscar Niemayer, it stands the test of time with dignity. The collection inside the museum for oblivion. Contemporary art is very subjective, but that building deserves better works and installations. From Rio you arrive by ferry, 20 minutes to cross the bay. They leave from the Carioca metro station area. They have frequency every 20 minutes. It's a nice walk, for a day when you can't go to the beach in Rio.

Located in Niteroi, about half an hour drive from Rio, located in a very beautiful site overlooking the bay of Rio, with view to the sugar loaf. The architecture of the museum is really outstanding and a master piece of Niemeyer, definitely worth a visit! The exhibitions are also interesting but less than the architecture. My favorite site to visit in Rio!

I was in Icaraí and I walked. A pleasant 1k.5km walk! The building designed by Niemayer is already worth a visit! Different, impressive. In a privileged location, with views of Guanabara Bay, and the sky line and mountains of Rio de Janeiro. The painting exhibition was good too. Entry 16:30 8 Reais! It is worth it

The beautiful work of Niemayer is frequented by all who visit Rio de Janeiro and stretch in Niterói passing the bridge over the Bay of Guanabara. With the wonderful view to the city of Rio, you can see the Christ Redemptor, Sugar Bread, Santos Dumont Airport and all Rio X Niterói Bridge On Wednesdays entrance is free. Enjoy to enjoy the beaches in the surrounding area.

Great Oscar Niemeyer masterpiece with amazing views. We arrived early and had breakfast at the downstairs restaurant. The room was supercold, too much aircon. Service was efficient and the breakfast for two had an amazing selection of yummy local specials. After breakfast we checked out the museum - small collection- but this museum is more about the architecture and surrounding which is stunning. Totally recommend to go by UBER from Rio and return to the city by Ferry.

We really enjoyed the visit of this museum. They had a temporary exposition of the Samba School winner of 2024, showing their costumes and props. From the inside you had a fabulous view of Rio from the 360 degrees windows. We only came to Niterói to visit this place and it was worth it.

Thhe architecture is truly a marvel created by Oscar Niemayer. It looks like a spaceship. And overlooks the fnatastic bay, The exhibition inside was truly outstanding too. The carnival dresses were displayed in all its glory. It is a compact museum and hence you don't get exhausted. The Museum staff are truly wonderful. Thank you for letting us in even though we did not have reals. If you are reading this review you know who we are and your kindness was truly appreciated. This was the highlight of Rio for us. Sadly it is 1/2 hour away from Rip and so many do not make an effort to come here. But for those who come this place will truly reward you, inside and out.
