Inaugurated in 1958 in its present location in Flamengo Park, the Museu de Arte Moderna (MAM) was destroyed by a fire in the 1970s. Much of the money to rebuild came from donations by Brazilians and art lovers from all over the world. The present building, designed by Affonso Eduardo Reidy and set in gardens designed by Roberto Burle Marx, is striking. Its permanent collection includes paintings, sculptures and drawings by Brazilian and foreign artists, including Picasso and Miró. If you are lucky, you might catch a temporary exhibit on loan from a museum elsewhere. There are two libraries here, one focussing on art books, while the other features books about movies. Screenings are held on a regular schedule.
