Museus Castro Maya, Art museum complex in Santa Teresa and Alto da Boa Vista, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The Museus Castro Maya comprises two museum buildings, the Museu da Chácara do Céu and Museu do Açude, displaying more than 22,000 artworks and historical objects.
Raymundo Ottoni de Castro Maya established the museum foundation in 1962, donating his residences and art collection before the institution joined the federal government in 1983.
The collection features Brazilian and European art from the 16th to 20th centuries, including works by Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and Candido Portinari.
Museu da Chácara do Céu opens from Monday through Sunday except Tuesdays, 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM, while Museu do Açude operates from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The museums preserve items from the Brazilian imperial family, acquired during the auction of São Cristóvão Palace in the late 19th century.
