Fábrica Bhering

Fábrica Bhering is a six-story arts center spanning 16,000 square meters with multiple artist studios and exhibition spaces throughout. The building retains its industrial infrastructure and original architectural elements from its previous use.

The building opened in 1934 as one of Brazil's largest chocolate factories before being transformed into an art space. The conversion preserved its original industrial architecture while creating a new cultural purpose.

The space hosts working artist studios where sculptors, painters, and photographers create and display their pieces regularly. You can walk through and see creators at work in their studios.

The center is accessible on weekdays and weekends with multiple floors to explore at your own pace. Plan to spend time wandering through the different studios and sections to get a full sense of the space.

The rooftop terrace overlooks Guanabara Bay and Rio's port, while the building retains an early twentieth-century clock and original elevator doors. These details demonstrate the precision craftsmanship and industrial design of that era.
