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.

Went on a day when there was literally no exhibition. As in, nothing, not a single painting in the entire museum. I don't understand. Why wasn't this on the website? Don't know. The views inside are cool. Anyway, truly magnificent building on the outside and it sits perfectly in the landscape of niteroi. Incredibly futuristic and yet close to nature.

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.
