    Nice art venue
    Nice venue for expos, well situated in the heart of downtown, easy access by underground. Not large but adequate for art expositions, worth watching because some nice activities may happen there.

    Excellency in the diffusion of Brazilian popular crafts in Rio de Janeiro!
    At historical "Praça Tiradentes" in downtown Rio, three old and important buildings were totally restored and turned into this real jewel of Brazilian popular crafts: the "CRAB - Centro de Referência do Artesanato Brasileiro". Inside these buildings, galleries bring traditional crafts from all over Brazil for temporary exhibitions. At a modern shop, an opportunity to buy crafts made by popular artists. A small coffee shop completes the scene! Unmissable by all those interested in traditional and popular crafts. The main building, built at the end of the 18th century, known as "Solar Visconde do Rio Seco", housed important ministries during Imperial and early Republican years. As it is downtown, it is strongly recommended to use taxis at all times. Check CRAB's program on its site and organize your visit. Enjoy!

    Wow, what a fabulous Brazilian music experience and nightclub!
    We went to the Scenarium on Dec. 30. The music was excellent samba, that make you want to get up and groove. The musical talent was great! It is three stories, and the decorations of antiques and quirky collections of collectibles were a feast for the eyes. My wife and I are in our late 50's and our sons in our 20's had an equally great time. If you love international music and you are in Rio, the Scenarium is a must stop.

    Great place if you look for antiques
    This shopping center does not look like much, but it is home for some great antique shops, especially upstairs. from cheap to very expencive. They also have a few other shops with fun looking dolls and many figurines from cartoons.

    Great collection of Brazilian folk arts.
    Nice shop. Friendly staff. Good selection of folk arts from across Brazil, especially the north. Lots of beautifully carved wooden saints, some painted. Reasonably priced.

    Nice piece of old architecture
    It sits inside PUC, the catholic University. Not a tourist attraction, though. Only for those really interested in history and architecture.

    Hidden pearl
    Off the beaten path, BKC offers a great range of cultural programs, many free. The atmosphere is intimate and friendly and the building is gorgeous. Look for the cinema program for kids and the courses and workshops.
