Museu de Arte Contemporanea de Niteroi
The UFO-shaped Museu de Arte Contemporanea de Niteroi exhibits works by contemporary Brazilian and international artists. The unusually shaped structure is the brainchild of none other than famed architect Oscar Niemeyer and, with a collection of over 1,200 artworks, remains one of the largest and most significant institutions of its kind in the country. Looking from the museum's observation room you can see the bay below, the city of Rio de Janeiro, and the surrounding mountainous landscape. The museum restaurant is a great place for discussing the art over a meal or a drink. Put Museu de Arte Contemporanea de Niteroi at the forefront of your travel plans using our Niteroi planner.

As a museum is one of the worst I ever visit. But as a place to take photos is awesome. You also have a guy right outside the museum selling coconut that worth every cent.

Definitely worth visiting. Not only for the art and exhibits inside, but also the beautiful oceanside scenery as well as the architecture of the building itself. It resembles a real life starship enterprise and is deserving of a place among the top art museums.
