It is a national art Museum located in the city of Rio de Jenerio, Brazil. The museum, officially established in 1937 by the initiative of education minister Gustavo Capanema, was inaugurated in 1938 by President Getúlio Vargas. The museum collection, on the other hand, takes its rise in the transfer of the Portuguese court to Brazil in the early 19th century, when King John VI brought along with him part of the Portuguese Royal Collection. This art collection stayed in Brazil after the King's return to Europe and became the core collection of the National School of Fine Arts. When the museum was created in 1937, it became the heir not only the National School collection, but also of its headquarters, a 1908 eclectic style building projected by Spanish architect Adolfo Morales de los Ríos.
I love to visit museums, theaters, and all cultural and historical places. Rio de Janeiro, for example, is famous for its beaches and landscapes (and I love them as well), but I like to explore the old Rio de Janeiro, which used to be the Brazilian capital until 1961.
A nice inexpensive experience to spend a few hours doing. Not many well none painters, but a brazilian painter by the name of Pedro Américo has some great pieces. It was loud due to the employees talking amongst one another, never seen so much chatter, very unprofessional.
Worth a visit if you are in the city for a couple of days
Only a single floor was open with a minimal collection of marginal paintings and a few sculptures. It was a major disappointment, not worth the cab fare.
