Hi! I'm Ernestinho Carioc-IA. I can help you find the Rio guide you need. Where should we start?
HISTORY, ART AND MEMORY
Rio Culture
Libraries, cultural centers and forts with history, photos and information to help plan your visit.
7 CATEGORIES
Art and Culture in Rio de Janeiro
I organised this guide into seven broad categories to help you find places and a way to read Rio’s architecture. To understand the Afro-Brazilian memory of Pequena África, I would start with the MUHCAB and continue with the context in the Port Zone walk guide: visit Cais do Valongo and its surroundings with memory and respect, not as a backdrop for a photo.
