Museu da Imagem e do Som do Rio de Janeiro, Cultural museum in Copacabana, Brazil

The Museum of Image and Sound stands on Avenida Atlantica, featuring eight floors dedicated to different aspects of Rio de Janeiro's cultural heritage.

The museum opened its doors on September 3, 1965, during celebrations marking Rio de Janeiro's 400th anniversary, preserving Brazilian audiovisual materials.

The museum maintains over 900 recorded interviews totaling 4,000 hours, alongside 304,845 documents including photographs, scores, and Radio Nacional recordings.

Construction of the new building, designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro architecture firm, continues with plans for high-tech interactive galleries and multimedia presentations.

The building's exterior design incorporates elements of Copacabana's sidewalk pattern, transforming the traditional horizontal walkway into a vertical structure.
