Known forcontemporaryport districtarchitecturewaterfront
MAR is a striking contemporary art museum in the revitalized port district, connecting two historic buildings with a dramatic canopy and rooftop garden overlooking Guanabara Bay. It focuses on Rio's visual culture, urban identity, and Brazilian contemporary art through rotating exhibitions that are consistently thoughtful and well-curated. The rooftop café view alone is worth the visit. Exhibitions change frequently so check the schedule before going.
