Museu da Maré, Community museum in Maré favela, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The Museu da Maré occupies an 800-square-meter former maritime factory building, featuring twelve thematic modules about life in the favela complex.

Established in 2006 with support from Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil, the museum emerged from initiatives by Centro de Estudos e Ações Solidárias da Maré.

The permanent exhibition 'Os tempos da Maré' presents daily traditions, festivals, and beliefs through items donated by local residents.

Located at Avenida Guilherme Maxwel 26, the museum welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM and Saturdays from 10 AM to 2 PM.

The museum collection includes digital, cartographic, bibliographic, and iconographic materials documenting the evolution of Brazil's largest favela complex.
