Worth passing by
Feb 2019 • Family
The museum of modern art in Rio
also has some exhibits outside which you can see for free even if you are just passing by. Worthwhile to get a first impression. See pictures.

One of the most beautiful gallery spaces in the world
Sep 2013 • Solo
I've been to alot of galleries in Europe, and around the world. This space must rank as one of the better. It's the perfect location and space to show art - and definitely worth a visit.

Be wary that the gallery opens during the week at Midday. It's a short walk from Cinedlinda Metro Station. You walk down Avenue President Wilson, and then there is a beautiful bridge over the freeway to walk. Walk down to the harbour before hand and watch the jets taking off from the airport a stone's throw away.
All of the art is Brazilian. The staff were really helpful, and it's just generally a pleasant place to visit! Perfect for a rainy day in Rio,

BLOWN AWAY !!! (in a good way)
Feb 2013 • Solo
I AM BLOWN AWAY! price: 12 reis. way exceeding my expectations. I went to MAM and other contemporary art museums in the Sao Paulo area last week, too. And they are a NOMATCH for this. photos allowed without flash. If you are into contemporary arts in any way, find a way not to miss it. very well laid out, very roomy, they can fit in huge pieces comfortably. compositions are also lovely. large variety. building is just the right spot for this. i ended up taking pics of layouts and building as well. and its right by the sea. it's a no-brainer. i enjoyed it very very much. take your time, I have spent over 2 hours, wish I had more time.

Not much to see...
Nov 2015 • Solo
I adore contemporary art, and went out of my way to see this museum as the other Contemporary Art museum was closed - but there really were only a few nice works to see. Not really worth it, unless you are already in the vicinity...

Not a lot of art
Apr 2017 • Friends
I was disappointed with the amount of art to see. The building seems to be able to accommodate a lot more than the three exhibits that were open when we went. The Gaudi/Barcelona exhibit was cool. Free on Wednesdays, so definitely worth stopping by then, but I wouldn't pay for it unless it was to see a specific temporary exhibit.

Museu de Artes Modernas = terrific!
Jul 2015 • Couples
A bold architectural building on the marina near Santos Dumont airport, with a view of Sugar Loaf, this museum is a little out of the downtown circuit but well worth the visit. Thoughtfully curated exhibitions complement a comprehensive collection of Brazilian contemporary art. A design store and cafe are on the opposite end of the building from the admissions desk - don't miss them. The shop in particular features exciting home accessories and jewelry by the top artisans and designers working in Brazil today.

Interesting cross-section of Brazilian art
Dec 2014 • Couples
This was my 2nd visit to this museum. The first one two years ago was not very memorable. But this time it was different, maybe the focus on Brazilian artists, maybe my changed understanding of Brazil. Since Brazilian artists are becoming more recognized, it is worthwhile to invest a little time here. On the 3 floors were several exhibits, some from the permanent collection. It showed the struggle of Brazilian artists to find their own voice over the past 100 years, responses to favelas, dictatorship, and other Brazilian experiences. We found it interesting!

worth a short visit
May 2014 • Couples
This relatively small museum located in Flamengo Park. Works of Brazilian and international artists are on display here. Due to a fire, tragically 90% of the artworks were destroyed in the late 70's. A short film of the restoration works on view in the exhibition hall. We found it very interesting.
Not the most prominent collection of modern art though it's definitely worth at least a short visit.

Low quality
The name stands for more than it can deliver. I've visited the place quite a few times but I've never really experienced anything of high standard. Most of the expositions are of low interest. In Rio de Janeiro you'll find many other and much more interesting places to visit.

Not the Contemporary Art Museum
Mar 2012 • Couples
Many reviewers have confused this museum with Oscar Niemeyer's Museum of Contemporary Art across the bay in Niteroi. The two museums have many similarities. The buildings are the most architecturally interesting feature; neither displays much inside them. This one also shows some Brazilian-designed products but no mention of where the store is located in the complex. .
