  You will find photo exhibitions and cult movies playing in the movie theather. Avoid the crownd in Parque Lage and have a breakfast at Instituto Moreira Sales.

  Interesting expositions and for free. The architecture of the house and garden are already worth the visit too. A nice place to hang around a bit.

  Little cultural gem tucked away in Alto Gávea. Great for admirers of architecture.

  A must-see in Rio! The house itself is worth a visit. Surrounded by Atlantic forest, this modernist gem—designed by Olavo Redig de Campos and Roberto Burle Marx—was home to one of the most prominent Brazilian families both economically and culturally. I really enjoyed the well-curated exhibits: "Conflitos" (a photo exhibit covering political violence in Brazil in 1889-1964), "O pipoqueiro da esquina" (with cartoons by Carlos Drummond de Andrade and Ziraldo), and "#RioUtópico" (with photos of the many utopically-named Rio neighborhoods). Admission is free.

  Not so popular among tourists but a must-see if you are looking for some peace and quiet. There is a nice small café with some options for breakfast and lunch but service can be rather slow on crowded days and weekends. Don't miss the permanent exhibition with historical photos of the city.

  Beautiful place, and the Otto Stupakoff exhibit I saw was amazing. Also nice to have a coffee in the café which is run by the proprietor of Empório Jardim.

  Breath taking place full of elegance, peace and culture! Not very easy access but it is worth a visit. There is a car park, taxi would not be too expensive or you can try walking from Jardim Botanico (more bus options) or even go cycling but there are hills on your way and hazards since drivers in in Rio are most reckless. The space offers: a visit to the house in itself which was built and designed by the wishes of the Banker Moreira Salles, exhibitions, mainly photograph but poetry too, cinema and the surrounding are very beautiful. They have a nice bookstore and a nice restaurant - be patient, service was very slow. And it is not cheap, this place is at the heart of the most expensive square metres of Rio!

  Absolutely charming. The actual place where the Moreira Salles family lived. The architecture is great. And all exhibitions, mostly photography, are very good. If you need a rest try the cafeteria.
