Instituto Moreira Salles - IMS Rio, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

4.5 (1.117 reviews) Monday: Spent Ranking #16 in Rio de Janeiro Speciality Museums

Great architecture, Nature and Art

High up in the Gávea neighborhood and surrounded by the lush Floresta da Tijuca, the house where Walther Moreira Salles and his family used to live became in 1999 the headquarters of the Instituto Moreira Salles in Rio de Janeiro. IMS Rio offers exhibitions, film screenings, concerts and cultural events, and shelters the institution’s photography, music, literature and iconography collections. The house, planned by Olavo Redig de Campos with landscape design by Roberto Burle Marx, is a landmark of 1950s modern architecture and an attraction in itself.

TAKE THE CHALLENGE AND GO SEE IT FOR YOURSELF: IT IS WORTH IT..!
Inasmuch as the hardship imposed to whoever dares to try and single out the most beautiful attraction in Rio with its natural beauty competing as exuberant vegetation, mountainous high green hills next to lagoons & to the thin white sandy beaches indeed one could still consider Instituto Moreira Salles - IMS Rio as one of the most beautiful places to visit in town. Yet you must be attracted to art, in general, to take the fullest advantage of the experience: stroll inside and outside of the museum, a feast for mind & soul. Enjoy whatever exhibitions might be featured, go to the movies there, and wrap it all up with a noteworthy quick meal at the local restaurant. The whole ambiance is far more impressive than the individual sum of its parts.

The most beautiful place I visited in Rio
A wonderful modernist villa surrounded by a lush garden designed by Roberto Burle-Marx, author also of the mural that is near the pool. I saw a wonderful photography exhibition and relaxed in their beautiful outdoor cafe. The staff is extremely professional and very friendly.
