Possibly the best Art Museum in Rio at the moment.
Great location, easily accessible by VLT, the new Rio tram line, close to the Museu do Amanhã.
Their exhibitions, shown over several floors and across the two buildings, are quite original and spot on, Brazilian themed, equally displaying well known and new artists. Beautifully curated, each room has its own distinctive feel.
The rooftop offers a stunning view of the surroundings, and if there is not a café at this spot, yet there is a fine restaurant on the ground floor.

Great museum and exposition, free on the day we went which was nice ! Good if you want to learn more about the Afro Brazilian culture
I went on a Saturday, around 2pm.
Was not too busy, great exposition and very educational. Loved it!
Note that if you are Carioca, you pay 1/2 the price!
The ticket box told me I could not bring my empty eco bag,
NO ECO BAG are allowed in the museum, all other bags under 40cm are allowed...It was policy etc. They dont charge you to store the bags, and they lend you a small bag to put your items in it.
Just have that in mind.

MAR is composed of 2 buildings: a stunning modern pavilion with a great rooftop view, and the adjoining classical building with various exhibits. When we visited in April 2023, there was an mesmerizing exhibition of local art. The museum makes a point of explaining its significance in the local community. Not to be missed when in Rio!
Beautiful museum, one of the best in Rio! rich permanent collection, interesting temporary exhibitions, they also host many music and other artistic events. Some days you can even visit for free.
Amazing and diverse collection showcasing the incredible creativity of Brazilian artists. On the day I went, admission was free, as was the valet for your bags. Highly recommended!
It was fine. Different kind of art collections. Free on tuesdays otherwise it is 20 BRL. Nice view to the museum of tomorrow and the bridge. Tbh I went here only because it was next to the museum of tomorrow and had 30 min to spend. Didn't regret it.
