Museu da Chácara do Céu, Art museum in Santa Teresa, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The museum displays European and Brazilian art collections inside a modernist building with views over Guanabara Bay and surrounding gardens.
The building transformed from Castro Maya's private residence into a public museum in 1972, following the creation of a foundation in 1963.
The museum maintains two rooms with original furnishings from Castro Maya's residence, presenting artifacts from his private collection of Brazilian and European art.
The museum opens Wednesday through Monday from 12:00 to 17:00, offering access to eight thousand volumes in the Castro Maya library.
The collection includes a Brasiliana section containing historical maps and 19th-century illustrations documenting Brazilian landscapes and customs.
