Museum Dom João VI, University museum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The Museum Dom João VI occupies the seventh floor of the Jorge Machado Moreira building at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro with an open technical reserve format.
Founded in 1979, the museum inherited parts of the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts collection, which originated from the Royal Collection donated by Dom João VI in 1816.
The museum collection includes academic works, travel award pieces, student exercises, master copies, sculptures, and didactic reliefs from the 19th and 20th centuries.
The museum welcomes visitors during regular hours and offers scheduled group visits, serving as a research center for scholars of Brazilian art from Brazil and abroad.
The museum maintains a digitized historical archive and hosts annual seminars since 2010 to disseminate research about its collection and similar collections.
